Father of a US Navy SEAL who died in the 2012 Benghazi terror attack on an American consulate has come out in support of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, while alleging that Hillary Clinton’s poor judgment as Secretary of State led to the deaths in Libya.

“I support Donald Trump, the national security as well as the economy are the two most important issues that voters are going to have to decide upon next November,” Charles Woods, father of Tyrone Woods said in a statement issued by the Trump campaign.

Woods alleged that the poor judgment of then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton led to the tragic deaths in Libya.

Clinton is now the Democratic presidential nominee and Trump’s rival in the November general elections.

“First, her reckless decision to invade Libya unleashed radical Islamic terror groups that threatened Americans.

Compounded with her failure to provide the necessary security upgrades and reinforcements cost four Americans their lives,” he said.

After it all, she lied to the world about what happened to cover up the role of Radical Islam, he added.

“We could have known more about her actions, but she illegally stored and then deleted 33,000 emails,” the statement said.

“Tyrone Woods is an American hero and his father is a tremendous person whom I have great respect for. His support is so important to me. Together we are going to defeat Hillary Clinton in November and make America safe again,” Trump said.
