McCarthy noted that “we are engaged in a final, all out battle.” How did he characterize the two sides in the “battle”? Why do you think he portrayed the Cold War in this manner?

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

McCarthy noted that “we are engaged in a final, all-out battle.” How did he characterize the two sides in the “battle”?

What Republican Wisconsin Senator Joseph McCarthy did was to confront the American People by accusing that several members of the federal government and the US military had ties with Communists or were Communists.

Why do you think he portrayed the Cold War in this manner?

I think he was a cruel person with peculiar political ambitions because he did accuse people but never present a valid or serious argument or piece of evidence to support his claims. He only accused people, affecting their public image and reputation. And that was so wrong. However, he scared and alienated many citizens and made the federal government investigate the alleged cases.
