Trump's pick for Deputy National Security Adviser has a little bit of public and private lying, fibbing, and stretching the truth that we are not too happy about. On the short list, she outed her brother dying of AIDS and refused to visit him.
Fox News contributor K.T. McFarland has been chosen to become Donald Trump's Deputy National Security Adviser despite a history of embellishing her resumé and, according to her family, lying about an abusive childhood to the press, the Washington Blade's Chris Johnson reports.
McFarland reportedly "couldn't abide" her brother's homosexuality, according to a 2007 New York Magazine profile.
"KT had a brother here in New York City who had followed her to George Washington University and then worked as an analyst. 'Ummmm. He was sick and then he died,' is all she would say when pressed. Michael Troia had [AIDS]; his obituary listed three 'companions,'" the New York Magazine piece stated.
K.T., short for Kathleen Troia, her maiden name, "couldn’t abide his sexual orientation," the New York Magazine article continued.
"Shortly after she discovered Mike had [AIDS], she wrote her parents lengthy, angry, almost Gothic letters in which she outed her brother, blamed her father for his troubles as well as those of her and her other siblings, and cut off contact with her parents."
“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?” she wrote. “He has been a lifelong homosexual, most of his relationships brief, fleeting one-night stands.” – thenewcivilrightsmovement.com
We're gonna need a bigger bucket. For more on how wonderful KT is, head over to thenewcivilrightsmovement.com where they elaborate on her loving ways.
As for her work history, here is Rachel Maddow mentioning KT's plump resume. Jump to 3:49 or so of the video.
You can as well head over to FOX News for a clip of her talking about how to defeat ISIS.
Should we shun her for having no soul?
Is her treatment of her brother and family and her exaggerated resume enough to keep her out of any kind of consideration for any type of position?
I am sure she has some good qualities. We can look the other way and forget those other things, right?
I keep seeing comments on
I keep seeing comments on Facebook from people saying they know gays who voted for Trump. They (and I) just don't understand it. How can they look at their friends straight in the eye voting for this tragedy for anyone who's gay? His cabinet is so anti gay it's horrible. Pence advocates torturing gays with electro shock therapy and national discrimination will be legal. What in the hell are they thinking?
