He launched a witch hunt against communists

Explanation:

McCarthy was controversial because his methods looked very much like lynching, he accused people of being traitors or potential traitors without any evidence. He drafted lists of people who were thus blackmailed and lost their jobs. He was finally disgraced in 1954.
