On This Day:
The CBS news show See It Now, produced by Edward R. Murrow, aired a report critical of US Senator #JosephMcCarthy, which led to the end of Communist ‘witch hunts’ on Capitol Hill (1954)
#GoodNightAndGoodLuck is another fine movie based on a true story. On #ThisDayInHistory in 1954, the #CBS television show #SeeItNow, hosted by #EdwardRMurrow, presented its special report on #JosephMcCarthy, using the Senator's own words to condemn him as a fraud and a demagogue.

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1950, alcoholic Senator #JosephMcCarthy found a reëlection trick in a bald-faced that he had a list of 205 "known communists" working in the #StateDepartment, setting off the #SecondRedScare. The number kept changing and he never turned over a single name.
Senator Joseph McCarthy's career ended when the army lawyer Joseph Welch countered him in a hearing: "You have done enough. Have you no sense of decency?"
(McCarthy's assistant? Roy Cohn, a.k.a. Donald Trump's personal lawyer!)

#OnThisDay 1954
The U.S. Senate voted to censure #JosephMcCarthy for “conduct that tends to bring the Senate into dishonor and disrepute.” McCarthy was a demagogue whose propaganda tactics led to a period known as the Second #RedScare as well as the #LavenderScare
#JosephMcCarthy was born #OnThisDay in 1908; he terrorized LGBT people & progressives with the Army-McCarthy hearings; #Zionists have initiated a new McCarthyite era with their ruthless suppression of criticism of #ApartheidIsrael & its #GazaGenocide...

Conservative anti-gay American politician Joseph McCarthy, whose purges of homosexuals, Communists and homosexual Communists terrorised 1950s America, was BOTD in 1908. #josephmccarthy #lavenderscare #bornonthisday
#JosephMcCARTHY was famously asked "Have you, at long last, no sense of decency?" In #DirtyDON's case, we have KNOWN - for MANY YEARS - that HE HAS NO SENSE OF DECENCY! Utterly #SHAMELESS !

Before grooming Donald Trump for Republican politics, Roy Cohn played a critical role in McCarthy's Red Scare.
Bradbury said that he wrote “Fahrenheit 451” because of his concerns about the threat of book burning in the United States. It was written in the midst of the #SecondRedScare and the #LavenderScare brought about by the right-wing demagogue Senator #JosephMcCarthy,

The parallels between McCarthyism and Trumpism are stark and unsettling; in both eras, dissent has been conflated with disloyalty.

GOP/National Conservatives engaging in 1st-Amendment-violating cancelling isn't surprising.
After all, Ray Cohn was Trump's mentor, and Ray Cohn worked for Joseph McCarthy to blacklist gay people and enemies in what we call McCarthyism.
History may not repeat itself, but it rhymes.
