This afternoon, Fox News’ Megyn Kelly held a gut-wrenching, emotionally charged interview with the father of slain SEAL Tyrone Woods. Woods was killed during last month’s deadly attacks in Benghazi, and, as we learned earlier today, he was one of a handful of CIA operators who defied orders to stand down and bravely rushed to the U.S. Consulate under heavy gunfire.
Woods’ father, Charles, expressed his disgust over the Obama Administration’s reckless disregard for his son’s life on that horrible night and its lack of concern and respect for his family after Tyrone’s death.
Fox is interviewing the father of a SEAL killed I'm Libya. "He had the moral strength to do what was right even if it cost his job/life."

It’s worth noting that the MSM has failed to show Tyrone Woods and his family the respect they deserve:

Megyn Kelly interview with Tyrone Woods' dad is incredible. Makes you angry at anyone that would help, media included, with this cover up.

Warped priorities: the hallmark of the Obama Administration.
Tyrone Woods father broke my heart. I am so angry at the Obama admin. for lying about this and other networks covering for the Obama admin
— janell hill (@cjanell) October 26, 2012
Obama’s White House and media lapdogs may refuse to honor the memory of Tyrone Woods, but we will never forget his courage and sacrifice. God bless Tyrone Woods and his family. May they get the justice they seek — and deserve.
