Assuming that you are referring to Joseph McCarthy, the notorious anti-Communist Republic Senator in the 1950s, then Truman never fired him. As a member of Congress, McCarthy was elected (from Wisconsin), and could not be fired by a President.

Joseph McCarthy’s attacks on President Truman in the early 1950s contributed to a climate of fear and suspicion during the Cold War, amplifying anti-communist sentiment in the United States. This period saw a rise in McCarthyism, characterized by aggressive investigations and accusations against perceived communists, which led to the blacklisting and persecution of many individuals in government, entertainment, and other sectors. Ultimately, McCarthy's tactics undermined civil liberties and created a culture of paranoia that affected American society and politics for years.

On what authority did Truman fire MacArthur?

President Harry S. Truman fired General Douglas MacArthur primarily based on the principle of civilian control over the military. MacArthur's public disagreements with Truman regarding the Korean War strategy and his desire to expand the conflict into China were viewed as threats to this principle. Truman believed that MacArthur's actions undermined the unified command structure and jeopardized U.S. foreign policy objectives, leading to his decision to relieve MacArthur of command in April 1951. This action emphasized the importance of maintaining a cohesive strategy in the face of military dissent.
