Trump-allied radio host Michael Savage calls Joseph McCarthy “a true American hero and a patriot”

Savage: “The left did to him what they’re trying to do now to Sessions and Trump”

From the June 13 edition of Westwood One's The Savage Nation:

MICHAEL SAVAGE (HOST): I believe that intelligence committee vice chairman Sen. Mark Warner should be thrown out of office. 

[...]

This is right out of the Soviet Union. “Are you now, or have you ever been, a member of the Communist Party?” This is what went on during the McCarthy era. All of you good progressives out there, you sit and cry with crocodile tears about the poor people who were crucified during the McCarthy era. Well, here you are conducting McCarthy-like hearings on a totally innocent man, while, my friends, all those Hollywood and journalistic types who were, let us say, investigated during the McCarthy era, turned out to be agents or operatives of the Soviet government. 

[...]

The Venona papers clearly show that the Soviets had infiltrated Hollywood, and had infiltrated the government -- and had infiltrated Hollywood, the government, and the press in the 1950's. McCarthy was in fact, a true American hero and a patriot. But, the left did to him what they're trying to do now to Sessions and Trump. They crucified a decent man. In fact, they took Sen. McCarthy, I think a Congressman McCarthy, and they gave him a name. They made him into a mockery, a figure of scorn.
