Helen Gahagan Douglas criticizes the Un-American Activities Committee for having unlimited power and using it to attack innocent people, leading to a loss of confidence in Congress and undermining democratic principles. She highlights a threat made by a committee investigator to a professor, warning him to watch his step like the Jews in Germany did with Hitler. Douglas condemns the actions of the committee and calls for a reevaluation of their power and methods.
