On Friday, President-elect Trump announced he has selected as his deputy national security adviser Kathleen Troia KT McFarland, who works as a Fox News commentator and unsuccessfully sought the Republican nomination in New York to challenge Hillary Clinton for her U.S. Senate seat in 2006.

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.
