McGinty Under Fire for College Claim

Pennsylvania U.S. Senate candidate Katie McGinty (D) “found herself explaining an often-repeated line from the campaign trail after questions were raised about whether she was in fact the first in her family to go to a four-year college,” the Allentown Morning Call reports.

“She has described herself during the campaign both as the first in her family to go to college, and as the first in her family to go to a four-year college.”

But BuzzFeed discovered her older brother, John P. McGinty, earned a bachelor’s degree, and later a master’s degree.
