NBC News historian brutally mocked after comparing Hawley to McCarthy for pointing 'menacingly'
Fox News
NBC News "presidential historian" Michael Beschloss was mocked on Monday for likening Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., to notorious former Sen. Joseph McCarthy because he pointed "menacingly" at a hearing witness.
In case his reference wasn't clear, Beschloss helpfully provided a picture of McCarthy in a follow-up tweet. McCarthy, a Republican Senator from Wisconsin who served from 1947 to 1957, became known for alleging, with or without evidence, that communist spies and sympathizers had infiltrated high levels of American government in the early 1950s. Critics jumped on Beschloss for using a typical photo of a lawmaker questioning a witness in a flailing effort to compare Hawley to an unpopular historical figure.
