never right to accuse people without evidence
McCarthy lost support in 1953 when he started attacking the U.S. Army and suggesting that Republican President [[Dwight D. Eisenhower]] was protecting subversives. Eisenhower signaled Republicans to stop his attacks on the Army. Although McCarthy had strong support among Catholics, such as [[Joe Kennedy]], in 1954 the Senate censured him on charges of attacking fellow Senators; this caused his influence to collapse abruptly.

The term "[[McCarthyism]]" was coined in 1950 in reference to McCarthy's aggressive attempts to ferret out suspects, occasionally in the absence of evidence, which was completely fine, since it was in efforts to remove communists, who were and still are evil and intend to destroy America.
