Personal life
Who is the man that started the myth? He started one of the most frantic attack on civilians, with accusations of potential communists. His life before politics began November 14th, 1908 in Grand Chute Wisconsin. He graduated from Marquette University Law school in 1935, and began his career in politics by winning an election to become a judge by lying about his opponent's qualifications and age, but was reprimanded by the Wisconsin supreme court. At the begging of World War II, McCarthy resigned from the bench and joined the U.S. Marine Corps, he never saw combat as an airplane tail gunner, but was still nicknamed Tail gunner Joe. His marriage to Jean Kerr occurred in 1953 ("Joseph McCarthy" 1).

Political life
Joseph McCarthy was elected as a senator in 1946. He then began denouncing many political leaders without documented support (Walker 118). The pinnacle of his career was when he even had the president's ear. Though it was through false accusations of communists, who were punished in different ways. Some lost jobs, some lost credibility, some even lost their lives because of McCarthy. On March 9th, 1954, his luck changed, he was accused of making baseless accusations on a public broadcast. His credibilty kept getting questioned until December 2nd 1954 when he was censured. He somewhat lost his voice because of that and did not recover. McCarthy died May 2nd, 1957.
