Senator Joe McCarthy served as a U.S. Senator from Wisconsin from 1947 to 1957. He became known for making accusations of communist activity in the U.S. government without providing evidence, known as "McCarthyism." In 1950, McCarthy gave a speech where he claimed to have a list of 205 communists working for the State Department, though the list was never verified. McCarthy's accusations led to investigations and convictions, though he was later called a liar. He died in 1957 at age 48 from health complications.
