The Army-McCarthy hearings in 1954, broadcast live on television, led to a public backlash against McCarthy, ultimately resulting in his censure by the Senate. McCarthy's downfall marked a turning point in American politics and the term \"McCarthyism\" became synonymous with public accusations of treason.\n
