A Reagan-era Pentagon official hoping to unseat U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton faced yet another problem with her campaign Thursday when a brother called her "evil" for accusing their father of child abuse.
The brother of Kathleen Troia "KT" McFarland said in an interview published Thursday that McFarland's allegations were a complete fabrication.
"If I had one word to describe my sister, it would be 'evil,'" Tom Troia told The New York Post.
The story came the same day McFarland hosted the first major fundraiser of her campaign, a $1,000-per-ticket reception featuring several high-profile members of the Reagan-era national security and defense establishment, including former National Security Adviser Bud McFarlane.

Stories of McFarland's allegedly messy family history have dominated her campaign since June, when she went public with allegations that she had endured years of physical abuse at the hands of her father. The announcement came after New York Magazine published excerpts from letters McFarland wrote to her parents 14 years ago, blaming them for pushing a gay brother, Michael, into a reckless sexual lifestyle that led to his death from AIDS in 1995.
