The White House on Thursday blasted the new House subcommittee on 'weaponization' of government with a scorching letter that compared it to red-baiting probes of the 1950s.
'Today, Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan is launching the Fox News reboot of the House Un-American Activities Committee with a political stunt that weaponizes Congress to carry out the priorities of extreme MAGA Republicans in Congress,' wrote White House spokesman Ian Sams in a four-page memo to 'interested parties.'
The blast also referenced the infamous Wisconsin Sen. Joseph McCarthy hearings that followed 1950s House hearings meant to root out communists in government, Hollywood, and other areas.

Lies, lies and more lies. McCarthy was a senator as opposed to The crooked Big Guy CENSOR, who is a tyrant.
America NEEDS to root out the many communists in power today.

Agree with prior posters about McCarthy being correct about communists in the gov't et al. Like the way they disparage the Swift Boat veterans who called shenanigans on john Heinz kerry.

McCarthy was right all along, and since then the proof has smacked us with a hammer and sickle. We could sure use a guy like him today.

As #3 posted....McCarthy was right!
,"
And, at least Congress has hard evidence to suspect Biden of corruption...the bulging finances, the foreign interference, Hunter's lucrative jobs with zero qualifications, the $500,000 "paintings", the laptop and its emails, the lies, the tens of thousands of Americans dead from vaccines...unlike the democrats' seven-year witch hunt of DJT, which has yet to find a single shred of actionable wrongdoing.
Hey, FJB: STF up!

Of course he was right, why do you think they hate him so much even 70 years later?

Nixon went after commies ,that is why there was a suicide mission to destroy him. Commies never change, never forget.

Typical sloppy “journalism“…
Senator Joe McCarthy was, as his title implies, a US Senator!
The House Un-American Activities Committee, as its name implies, was a committee of the US House of Representatives.
Whatever politics they might have in common, a Senator is never a remember of a House committee.

Projection. Always projection.
If they wanted an example of a HUAC, look no further than Meuller's two year circus, two impeachments, and the release of sacredly-private tax returns.
