Joseph McCarthy Joseph Raymond McCarthy ( 1908 - 1957 ) was a Wisconsin senator who became infamous for his aggressive investigation and claims of Communist infiltration in the United States of America . In one 1950 lecture at a Republican Women ' s Club meeting , McCarthy claimed that " I have here in my hand a list . . . " of known Communists working in the State Department . Over the following days and weeks , McCarthy ' s claims of the number of Communists on " the list " changed , and it seems likely that an actual list never existed . Over the next few years , McCarthy ' s scare tactics increased his power in the Senate considerably . He was made Chairman of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations , and used this pulpit to make wide - ranging claims of Communist infiltration . His investigations of books written by Communists in overseas libraries led many American libraries to purge their collections ; his investigations into Communist subversion of Hollywood led to the blacklisting of many writers and performers . McCarthy overreached his power in 1953 by zealously investigating the Armed Forces , publicly intimidating a popular general . This led to the televised Army - McCarthy hearings in 1954 and a broadcast by Edward R . Murrow attacking his methods . McCarthy ' s power was broken , and he was censured by the Senate . Decades after his death , McCarthy remains a significant but controversial figure in American politics .
