Bréton likened the move to “McCarthy’s witch hunt” in a post on X.

We are barely one generation away from that exact McCarthyism.

Roy Cohn was Donald Trump’s mentor and “fixer.”

He was also Joseph McCarthy’s chief counsel and assisted him in rooting out supposed communists (the “red scare”) and gay people (the “lavender scare”). The latter being especially heinous because he was a closeted, self-hating, practicing homosexual.

Cohn had been assisting McCarthy’s investigations]of suspected communists. In the 1970s and during the 1980s, he became a prominent legal and political fixer in New York City.

He was a genuine piece of shit. Trump learned a lot from him, Cohn was one of his heroes. You can see more on Roy Cohn the self-hating scumbag’s Wikipedia page.
