It's a shameful tactic, regardless of the topic (which makes it even more shameful in this case). I hope they fail miserably and none of them gets reelected. McCarthy is undemocratic and ruthless. A perfect example of someone who should never be in a position of power, but almost always happens to get there in this country.
