Franklin D. Roosevelt

Sen. Joe McCarthy, wrapped himself in the flag & destroyed peoples lives by claiming people (mostly Hollywood) were engaged in Communist 'un-American activities' blacklisting them from working.

People knew it was all lies, propaganda & BS eventually, turning their backs on McCarthy & his invented Communist witch hunts

Sound vaguely familiar to today?

If I recall he was also a gay hunting self loathing gay. Or was that Roy cohen? I can’t remember without looking it up.

Primarily a Commie hunter, homosexuality was a part of it. Used fear to scare Americans. J Edgar Hoover, FBI head for decades, was homo sexual , used a self loathing 'The enemy within' tactics & blackmail.

Not much has changed with the Conservative thought process over the decades

Seems par for the course. It’s hard to keep track of all of their gayness hypocrisy and conspiracies. Jesus would be proud.
