Answer: Joseph McCarthy charged people in government of being communist.
Explanation:
Senator McCarthy claimed that the State Department hired more than 200 "known communists" in the early-to-mid 1900s. He said that communists were present in practically every sector of the US government during the following several years. His wild assertions fostered the Red Scare, a fear that communists were infiltrating every element of American government and society. McCarthy's ability to incite public outrage and portray opponents as communist sympathizers kept him on the front pages for years, despite the fact that he never found a single communist.
