McCarthy claimed that there were communists in the US military.

Explanation: The televised Army–McCarthy hearings (1954), in which McCarthy accused the Army of harboring communists and then clashed with Army counsel Joseph Welch, exposed his bullying tactics to the public and led to a loss of support and his eventual censure by the Senate.
