What about innocent until proven guilty?
Applied to all of his so-called "victims", because he always failed to prove otherwise.
The Tailgunner Joe was infinitely less successful than even Mueller, who had a similarly undeserved fan following for a while but at least had someone sent to jail even in just the Trump case.
McCarthy then literally drunk himself to death (a very Irish end), becoming the only real "victim of McCarthy".
The "worst" parts of mcCarthyism were the institutions firing people for being potentially communist. Basically exactly what is happening today, except the threat of communism was and is very real, it's not a pretend boogeyman.
It's still wrong though. Innocent until proven should be for everyone regardless if the threat is real or not.
