McCarthyism. On February 9, 1950, Senator Joseph McCarthy, a Republican from Wisconsin, claimed to have a list of 205 people in the State Department who were members of the American Communist Party. The possibility of communist subversion caused some people to lose their jobs when they admitted to have been Communist Party members. To save their own skins, accused Communist Party members had to expose other members of the Party during McCarthy's investigations. The ensued witch-hunt and anti-communist hysteria was known as McCarthyism.
