SURBER, Pa. — The grieving widow of Corey Comperatore, the heroic firefighter shot and killed by a sniper at a President Trump rally, told The Washington Post that when President Biden called her after the tragedy, she wanted nothing to do with him.
“I didn’t talk to Biden,” Helen Comperatore said Monday from her Pennsylvania home. “I didn’t want to talk to him. My husband is a staunch Republican and I don’t think he would have wanted me to talk to him.”
Corey Comperatore, a beloved volunteer firefighter, married father of two, was with his family at a President Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on Saturday when he was shot and killed by a psychopathic shooter, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks.
A bullet struck the former president in the ear, wounded two rally attendees, and Corey Comperatore was shot dead.
Helen Comperatore said it was meant to be an “exciting day” for her family to support Trump.
As gunfire rang out, her husband instinctively shouted “get down!” and put his own body on the line to protect his family from the sniper’s bullets, which claimed his life.
She said the former president has not been in touch, but that Biden’s calls were not welcomed.
“I have no ill will towards Joe Biden. I’m not a political person.
“I support Trump, I will vote for him, but I have no ill will towards Biden,” she added. “He did nothing wrong to my husband. That’s what a sneaky 20-year-old kid did.”
