Larry Tye has written a new biography of Senator Joseph McCarthy who led an Anti-communist crusade in the 1950s. More than 70 years later, Tye draws a parallel between McCarthy's tactics and President Trump's divisive rhetoric.

But beyond that, he says, both McCarthy and Trump are "bullies" who exploit fears and "point fingers when they're attacked."
