History

All of the following were true about the rise and fall of the notorious anticommunist crusader Senator Joseph McCarthy EXCEPT that

(A) Senator McCarthy first rose to national prominence by publicly charging that scores of known communists were working for the U.S. State Department. (B) Senator McCarthy outrageously charged that General George Marshall, a former secretary of state and World War II military hero, was part of a procommunist conspiracy to betray America. (C) as a result of Senator McCarthy's purges against Asian experts in the State Department, the department lost a number of Asian specialists who might have counseled a wiser course in Vietnam. (D) President Eisenhower, at an early stage during Senator McCarthy's political rise, publicly denounced McCarthy's slanderous and demagogic attacks against Americans loyally working for the U.S. government. (E) Senator McCarthy's fall from political power and influence was hastened when he foolishly and ineptly attempted to attack the U.S. Army during the televised Army-McCarthy hearings in the spring of 1954.
