    Roy Cohn has entered the chat.

    Roy was Sen. Joe McCarthy’s righthand man, a vindictive pit bull who had Ethel Rosenberg executed. Besides the more famous Red Scare, Cohn presided over the Lavender Scare, an attack on homosexuals in the State Department.

    Years later, Cohn would die of AIDS.
