2. There is no credible evidence which establishes that HCUA Chairman (Cong. Francis Walter) was “a racist”

From Hollywood’s Blacklists: A Political and Cultural History by Reynold Humphries:

Lest people believe such ravings were limited to racist Southern Democrats, let us turn to Rep. Francis Walter, chairman of HUAC from 1955. A Democrat representing Pennsylvania, he co-authored with another reactionary Democrat, Senator Pat McCarran of Nevada, an Immigration Act designed to maintain “traditional racial balance.” When there were protests, Walter dismissed them as “professional Jews shedding crocodile tears for no reason whatsoever.”
