1954US Senate votes to censure Joseph McCarthyChamber condemns senator's conduct after Army hearingsThe Senate voted 67-22 to condemn Wisconsin Senator Joseph McCarthy for conduct unbecoming a senator, following the televised Army-McCarthy hearings earlier that year. The censure effectively ended McCarthy's political influence and the intense anti-communist campaign associated with his name. He remained in the Senate until his death in 1957.
