After [[Khrushchev|Khrushchev's Secret Speech]] another generation of loyal Communists were again confronted with the enormity of Stalin's crimes. As [[Ann Coulter]] stated, Sen. [[Joseph McCarthy]] "made it a disgrace to be a Communist."<ref>Coulter, Ann ''Treason: Liberal Treachery From the Cold War to the War on Terrorism''©2003 Crown Forum, New York, New York, pp. 1-2</ref> Singer [[Paul Robeson]] remained a lifelong denier of the Stalinist holocaust. Davis in his 1963 interview with [[FBI]] Special Agent Leo Brenneisen appears to offer some second thoughts about his work for the Soviet Union. Davis states he would "consort with the devil to gain his end," and his end was the fight against racial discrimination.

There is no evidence Davis ever abandoned his commitment to Communism.
