Trump calls widow of Corey Comperatore, the man killed during assassination attempt
Former President Donald Trump called Helen Comperatore on Tuesday to offer his condolences over the death of her husband, Corey.
Corey Comperatore was the man killed during the assassination attempt at Trump’s political rally on Saturday. He was 50 years old and survived by his wife and two daughters. He was a former fire chief and volunteer fireman in Butler County. He was killed while shielding his family from the gunfire that was intended to assassinate Donald Trump.
She posted about Trump’s phone call on her Facebook account, according to the New York Post.
“He was very kind and said he would continue to call me in the days and weeks ahead,” she said.
“I told him the same thing I told everyone else. He left this world a hero and God welcomed him in. He did not die in vain that day,” she said.
On Monday, it was reported that President Joe Biden attempted to contact her and offer his condolences. She declined to speak to him, however, saying that she was a Trump supporter, as was her husband.
“I didn’t talk to Biden,” Comperatore said. “I didn’t want to talk to him. My husband was a devout Republican, and he would not have wanted me to talk to him.”
She elaborated on why she decided not to talk to Biden. She claimed she did not have any ill will toward Biden; she just preferred not to talk to him and was apolitical.
“I don’t have any ill will toward Joe Biden,” she told the Post. “I’m not one of those people that gets involved in politics.”
“I support Trump. That’s who I’m voting for, but I don’t have ill will toward Biden,” Comperatore said. “He didn’t do anything bad to my husband. A 20-year-old despicable kid did.”
