Flashback: Widow of fire chief Corey Comperatore, slams Secret Service a year later: ‘Garbage’
NY Post ^ | July 2025 | Steven Vago, Chris Nesi

Helen Comperatore, the widow of Corey Comperatore, who was shot and killed at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, by a bullet intended for President Trump last July, has no love lost for the Secret Service.

“I think the Secret Service is garbage,” she told The Post. “All I’ve wanted this entire time was to sit down with the men who screwed up that day and find out why. Why? Why at that rally? Why at that one in Butler?” she asked incredulously.

“...Why were you such a mess in Butler? Were you told to be a mess?"...

The agency’s response to the July 13, 2024, assassination attempt drew widespread condemnation from both sides of the aisle, ultimately resulting in then-director Kimberly Cheatle stepping down from her post in disgrace.

On Thursday, nearly a year to the day after the botched security operation, six agents working the rally were suspended from duty.

Asked about what she’d say to Crooks’ parents, Matthew and Mary, who have yet to issue a formal statement nearly a year after...

“I want to know why if they knew he had mental issues and he was spiraling like they say, why didn’t they go get him help? If my kid lived in my house and he barely spoke to me and they knew that he had issues and he was going downward, why did they let him leave with a gun that day?”

Helen said she received a warm letter from President Trump last month.

“He did send me a letter in June just checking in. He sent me some photos from the day and it was just a beautiful letter saying our families will always be connected and that if I ever need anything to please reach out.”

Taylor Swift had better security.

The difference? They love Taylor.

Facts.

They’re also handsomely compensated with bonus and perks and other shows of appreciation.

Apparently the shutdown has made it so SS*still* hasn’t been paid?!

Men? Take a look at the photos of female SS agents who couldn’t even holster their guns due to being too fat. Dump the DEI programs.

That is the most outrageous fact that nobody seems to care enough about to DO SOMETHING NOW!

SS needs to be paid today!

Thank you for posting those pictures of seldom seen victims who should never be forgotten. God bless them.

FBI is not involved, it is SecretService — all vetted by JillBiden. SHE ensured that the DEI agent in charge got that job. Then, like the DEI clowns in charge in LA during the fires, the DEI chiefs ensured that other DEI hires got jobs.

Weren't the Secret Service agents in Butler substitutes because the regular agents had been sent to guard Jill Biden at some event in western Pennsylvania at the same time (where she was in absolutely no danger)?

I wish there could be an investigation into whether Joe or Jill knew about the attack in advance.

Yeah they were filling in for “overworked” agents. A lot of things conveniently lined up to create a huge security hole.
