Trumps natl security pick outed gay brother dying of AIDS..............
I am proud that KT has once again decided to serve our country and join my national security team, Trump said in a statement. She has tremendous experience and innate talent that will complement the fantastic team we are assembling, which is crucial because nothing is more important than keeping our people safe.

A profile piece for New York Times Magazine in 2006, however, reported she couldnt abide her brother being gay. The article unearthed a 1992 letter to her parents in which she reportedly outed her brother, Michael Troia, shortly after she discovered he had AIDS, blamed her familys troubles as a result of childhood abuse.
Have you ever wondered why I have never had anything to do with Mike and have never let my daughters see him although we live only fifteen minutes away from each other? McFarland reportedly wrote. He has been a lifelong homosexual, most of his relationships brief, fleeting one-night stands.
Pressed about her brother by New York Magazine for the 2006 profile piece, all McFarland would reportedly say about him was Ummmm. He was sick and then he died. According to the article, McFarland said her memory of her fathers behavior toward her family surfaced as a recovered memory and a therapist put her up to writing the letter.
