Sen. Joseph McCarthy (R-Wis.) joined “Meet the Press” on October 3, 1954 to discuss his criticisms of President Eisenhower’s administration and his response to the Cold War.

He is known for a period of U.S. politics referred to as “McCarthyism” and the Red Scare, which stemmed from the senator’s deep fear of communism.
