Episode 7: Mobilized
from Rachel Maddow Presents: Ultra Hosted by Rachel Maddow, David Austin Walsh, Rodger McDaniel, Steven Ross
With Republican Sen. Joseph McCarthy facing the most serious challenge of his political life -- a looming censure vote in the U.S. Senate -- McCarthy's most fervent supporters raise up an army to fight in his defense. The effort, which draws together mainstream Republicans and McCarthy's most radical followers on the ultra right, will involve threats of violence, harassment, and an armed show of force on the steps of the U.S. Capitol.
