Benghazi widow: Clinton ‘cannot fundamentally be our commander in chief’

Published August 4, 2016 2:05pm ET



Dorothy Woods, the widow of Ty Woods, one of the four who died in Benghazi four years ago, on Thursday took former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to task for her handling of the terror attack, saying that “she turned her back” on those involved in the aftermath and is unfit to serve as commander in chief.

“I’m not going to tell anyone how to vote, but this is — I want to put it very simply. I realize sometimes that we all have the best intentions, and that we make mistakes,” Woods told radio host Hugh Hewitt. “Hillary Clinton cannot do what parents all over the country do to teach their kids right versus wrong, so she cannot fundamentally be our commander in chief. You know, it’s that simple. It’s that empirical to me. I wouldn’t teach my son, you know, to treat other people like that. And now she wants to be in charge of other people’s sons? No.”
