Joe Biden to Father of Former Navy SEAL Killed in Benghazi: ‘Did Your Son Always Have Balls the Size of Cue Balls?’

Editor’s note: We discussed all of the breaking developments on Friday’s live BlazeCast:

Original story below.

–

The father of one of the former Navy SEALs killed in the terrorist attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya says President Barack Obama wouldn’t even look him in the eye and Vice President Joe Biden was disrespectful during the ceremony when his son’s body returned to America. He also says the White House’s story on the attack doesn’t pass the smell test.

Charles Woods, father of Tyrone Woods, called into “The Glenn Beck Program” on TheBlazeTV Thursday and recounted his interactions with the president, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Biden at the ceremony for the Libya victims at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland. He told host Glenn Beck that what they told him, coupled with new reports that indicate the Obama administration knew very good and well, almost immediately, that a terrorist attack was occurring in Benghazi, make him certain that the American people are not getting the whole truth.

Vice President Biden, as he has become known to do, reportedly made a wildly inappropriate comment to the father who had just lost his hero son.

Woods said Biden came over to his family and asked in a “loud and boisterous” voice, “Did your son always have balls the size of cue balls?”

“Are these the words of someone who is sorry?” said Woods.

The grieving father also described his brief encounter with President Obama during the ceremony for the Libya victims.

“When he finally came over to where we were, I could tell that he was rather conflicted, a person who was not at peace with himself,” Woods said. “Shaking hands with him, quite frankly, was like shaking hands with a dead fish. His face was pointed towards me but he would not look me in the eye, his eyes were over my shoulder.”

“I could tell that he was not sorry,” he added. “He had no remorse.”

Beck said he wanted to give the president “the benefit of the doubt,” and asked Woods how he could be sure that Obama wasn’t just uncomfortable or nervous during their conversation. Woods said it was Obama’s “demeanor.”

Hillary Clinton’s comments to Woods raise even more questions about the White House’s official story on the Benghazi attack, which has already been extremely inconsistent.

After apologizing for his loss, Woods said Clinton told him that the U.S. would “make sure that the person who made that film is arrested and prosecuted.”

Obviously, Clinton was referring to the anti-Muslim YouTube video that the Obama administration spent nearly two weeks blaming for the attack. White House Press Secretary Jay Carney, U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice, Clinton and the president himself all blamed the video at various points. Beck pointed out that the White House is now trying to claim that it has always considered terrorism as the cause of the attack.

“When she said that, I could tell that she was not telling me the truth,” Woods said about Clinton.

Watch part I of the interview with Beck here via TheBlazeTV:

Reading another State Department email that further calls into question the U.S. response to the attack, Beck revealed that the U.S. government was made aware that the compound in Benghazi was under attack by “mortar fire,” hardly a sign of a spontaneous protest.

“The question that I had in my mind,” Woods replied, “was why did we not do something to protect our forces?”

“We didn’t even dispatch anybody,” Beck lamented.

“You released the information that the White House within minutes of the attack, watched in real time the events unfolding,” Woods told Beck earlier in the program. “They denied the pleas for help and they watched my son die.”

Woods went on to read the following statement, in honor of his son:

“I want to honor my son, Ty Woods, who responded to the cries for help and voluntarily sacrificed his life to protect the lives of other Americans. In the last few days it has become public knowledge that within minutes of the first bullet being fired the White House knew these heroes would be slaughtered if immediate air support was denied. Apparently, C-130s were ready to respond immediately. In less than an hour, the perimeters could have been secured and American lives could have been saved. After seven hours fighting numerically superior forces, my son’s life was sacrificed because of the White House’s decision. This has nothing to do with politics, this has to do with integrity and honor. My son was a true American hero. We need more heroes today. My son showed moral courage. This is an opportunity for the person or persons who made the decision to sacrifice my son’s life to stand up.”

Tears in his eyes, Beck told Woods that his son was not even there for security purposes but after hearing cries for help he voluntarily protected his fellow Americans, knowing his life would be put in danger. Beck called Tyrone Woods a “hero” multiple times throughout the show.

“I am sorry for your loss, and I know there are millions of Americans that are sorry for your loss,” Beck concluded.

Mr. Woods,

On behalf of regular guys like me everywhere, and our families, I would like to extend most sincere condolences for the loss of your son.

While I did not know your son personally, there is little doubt he was a patriot of honor, integrity, strength and conviction. It takes a special kind of individual to go into harm’s way for others, and while that fact may go unnoticed by this unworthy Commander in Chief, it does not go unnoticed by millions of Americans. Rest easy knowing those fellow countrymen/women both respect and appreciate the service of your son.

I pray to God this nation can once again find its soul and find/elect good men to lead her. With God’s help, perhaps we can find a way beyond self-serving politicians to a place where our country’s warriors receive the advocacy and honor they most rightfully deserve.

God bless you and your family. I pray you see your son again one day.

These are the people representing the Free World? No wonder other countries laugh at us. What an awful thing for this family to go through. The military should really look into this Benghazi mess and make sure that their brothers and sisters are not humiliated in this way.

  it’s okay. my son spent 23 years Army and saw duty in Somalia, Kosovo, Iraq. he was in Mogadishu when Rangers were attacked and I nearly went nuts, waiting for news. turned out red cross or whoever was supposed to have notified families as to their status but nobody did. they dropped the ball; could find out nothing for a couple of days. believe me when I say that prayer will get you through…and may God bless your son. my son volunteered too. God Bless All of Them.

I’m sure VP Biden meant what he said as a compliment, but he is not a man of… Is “tact” the word I’m looking for? I suppose it is one word I that could use. He isn’t a good speaker at all in my personal opinion. He’s not very diplomatic which is odd considering he’s supposed to be an expert on foreign affairs. He needs to realize that a fool speaks without thinking, but a wise man can hear his own words before they are spoken.

My heart goes out to the families of the men who lost their lives that day… I sincerely hope that you find peace, and the answers into what truly happened.

Classless, as always.
To the father of a fallen hero: I cannot express how deeply hurt I am for your loss.
I thank God for your son, Sir. I pray for you and for your family.
I raise a toast to Ty.
I raise a toast to Glen.

I raise something else to most other people mentioned in this article.

I can’t imagine how it would feel to have this happen to your loved one and then experience the fake, calloused and disgraceful comments and body language of your leaders. This shows just what kind of people they really are. So Sorry for these folks. God help us all if they get back in office. Pray people, pray!

Samantha Powers “Responsibility to Protect” Libyans. Where IS the Responsibility to Protect Americans? This Administration ARE ALL TRAITORS to the US Constitution and in league with EVIL. We must get out of the UN now. Please pray for our troops. Two more were murdered in Afghanistan by people they were training. Our troops should NEVER serve under a NATO command.

  If it were my son, I would be calling or emailing all the news channels this interview. This is a true disgrace to our country. I am sure Senator McCain had to hear this interview. Why is he not addressing this? I am sending this artical to all of my local congressmen and State Senator. If I get no reply from them before Nov. 6th they will not recieve my vote.
  Mr & Mrs Woods, Please accept my deepest sympathy and extend it to the rest of your family. God Bless all of you and God Bless Ty.

In what drunken, insane world would Biden or anyone else make that kind of comment to a grieving family? To Joe it must have sounded macho, real he- manish but it was just obscene.

Mr. Woods Obama wouldn’t look you in the eyes because he knows he helped kill your son. He knew that even as great a liar as he you would know he had no compassion. The truth does not live in Obama.

My condolences on the loss of your child. May God support you and yours in your time of grief.

I am very sorry about Navy SEAL Tyrone Woods and express my deepest sympathy to his family. Your son was a hero. He seemed like a really great fellow. Again, sorry.

This must also be used as evidence to impeach Obama and the entire whitehouse staff. No words to describe my disgust.
