In 1950, Joseph McCarthy told a Republican audience at Wheeling, West Virginia, that he had a list of 205 known Communists who were working in the State Department. He also said that the Secretary of State, Dean Acheson, knew about the Communist influence in his department. McCarthy had no such list and the next day he could not even remember if he said 205 or 57. During the McCarthy witch hunt, he never released a single name and never fingered a single Communist in the government. McCarthy reached his peak of influence in 1952. Even the Republican candidate for President, Eisenhower, refused to publically denounce McCarthy, even though he detested the man. McCarthy's influence came to an end in 1954, when he took on the U.S. Army, accusing them of having known Communists in leadership. The Senate finally censured him in December, 1954 by a vote of 72 to 22.
