Glenn Greenwald Doesn't Understand What McCarthyism is.

With the recent revelation that the Senate will look into Jill Stein in its Russia investigation, Glenn Greenwald, who has characterized this constitutional crisis as a Deep State conspiracy, went into full meltdown mode on Twitter, releasing one hysterical missive against the Democrats and the Left after another (all posted as screenshots because he has blocked):

I covered much of the evidence against Stein last July, when her name first arose in conjunction with the investigation. Her actions, which included attending a dinner in Moscow with Putin and Michael Flynn, and having a Kremlin-friendly foreign policy platform, were suspicious both then and now. The Buzzfeed article claims that investigators will probe her appearances on RT, which include a Green Party debate hosted by the network. But Glenn Greenwald will have none of it. If you dare question anyone on the left of doing ill, you are a McCarthyite! You're exactly like Joseph McCarthy! Which begs the question - does Glenn Greenwald even know what McCarthyism is?
