</div><div>IM: Do you know the story of Lester Hunt? He was a senator from Wyoming. Around the time that Cohn was in Washington, Hunt was a very popular Democrat. The Republicans, including McCarthy, were always trying to figure out how to get him out of the way, because he was powerful, beloved, and very progressive. At one point, Hunt’s son was arrested for propositioning a male undercover police officer for sex, and this was discovered by McCarthy and some other senators. They confronted Hunt, saying they’d go public with this story if Hunt didn’t pull out of his race for reelection. Hunt tried to stay strong and fight back, but they threatened again, and rather than face that kind of humiliation and the humiliation of his son, Hunt committed suicide.</div></div><div>=</div></div><div>

Hunt was the first to be elected to two consecutive terms as Wyoming's governor, serving as its <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Governors_of_Wyoming" class="mw-redirect" title="List of Governors of Wyoming" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; text-decoration-line: none;">19th Governor</a> from January 4, 1943, to January 3, 1949. In 1948, he was elected by an overwhelming margin to the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S.Senate" class="mw-redirect" title="U.S. Senate" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; text-decoration-line: none;">U.S. Senate</a>, and began his term on January 3, 1949.Hunt supported a number of federal social programs and advocated for federal support of low-cost health and dental insurance policies. He also supported a variety of programs proposed by the Eisenhower administration following the Republican landslide in the 1952 elections, including the abolition of racial segregation in the District of Columbia, and the expansion of Social Security.An outspoken opponent of Senator <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_McCarthy" title="Joseph McCarthy" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">Joseph McCarthy</a>'s anti-Communist campaign, Hunt challenged McCarthy and his senatorial allies by championing a proposed law restricting <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speech_or_Debate_Clause" title="Speech or Debate Clause" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">Congressional immunity</a> and allowing individuals to sue members of Congress for slanderous statements. In June 1953, Hunt's son was arrested in Washington, D.C., on charges of soliciting sex from an undercover male police officer (homosexual acts were prohibited by law at the time). Several Republican senators, including McCarthy, threatened Hunt with prosecution of his son and wide publication of the event unless he abandoned plans to run for re-election and resigned immediately, which Hunt refused to do. His son was convicted and fined on October 6, 1953. On April 15, 1954, Hunt announced his intention to run for re-election. He changed his mind, however, after McCarthy renewed the threat to use his son's arrest against him. On June 19, 1954, Hunt committed <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide" title="Suicide" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; text-decoration-line: none;">suicide</a> in his Senate office; the suicide dealt a serious blow to McCarthy's image and was one of the factors that led to his <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censure" title="Censure" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; text-decoration-line: none;">censure</a> by the Senate later in 1954.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lester_C.Hunt#cite_note-1" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; text-decoration-line: none;">[1]</a>

The Denver Post wrote an exposé backing his complaints. Hunt dismissed that as a "political story" and said that "food stuffs cannot be brought into a city to feed 13,500 people in a wheel barrow and it would not be good business to bring it in every day." He toured the camp and said the internees' "living standard was, to my way of thinking, rather disgraceful."<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lester_C.Hunt#cite_note-13" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">[13]</a> At the end of the war he wrote to the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_Relocation_Authority" title="War Relocation Authority" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">War Relocation Authority</a> that "We do not want a single one of these evacuees to remain in Wyoming."<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lester_C.Hunt#cite_note-14" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">[14]</a>When President <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franklin_D.Roosevelt" title="Franklin D.

Congress refused to fund the Monument until 1950, when Wyoming's two U.S. Senators, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_C.O%27Mahoney" title="Joseph C.
