Former Trump Official Praises Joe McCarthy In Bonkers 'Deep State' Remarks: He 'Was Right'
HuffPost
Monica Crowley, who worked in the Treasury Department under the former president, cooked up a conspiracy theory about an "insidious" network.
Monica Crowley, an ex-Fox News personality and Treasury Department official in the Trump administration, showed love to Sen. Joseph McCarthy (R-Wis.) as she pushed a bizarre conspiracy theory that seemed straight out of the Red Scare on Friday.
“By the way, Senator Joe McCarthy was right,” said Crowley in remarks to the Faith & Freedom Coalition conference in Washington.
“And he was trying to ring the bell in the 1950s about Communist infiltration in our government and the same deep state that is now going after Donald Trump.”
Crowley, former President Donald Trump’s pick for a National Security Council role before she withdrew from consideration amid a plagiarism scandal, added to her conspiracy by claiming that the “deep state” network also “removed” Richard Nixon and went after Ronald Reagan.
“That deep state became very insidious and in the 1950s, smeared and attacked Joe McCarthy for speaking the truth about godless communism in very halls of our government,” said Crowley, who has previously promoted a number of Obama-related conspiracy theories.
