The widow of the volunteer firefighter who was fatally shot at the Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday said she received a phone call from former President Donald Trump.

“President Trump called me to share his condolences,” Helen Comperatore wrote on social media. “He was very kind and said he would continue to call me in the days and weeks ahead. I told him the same thing I told everyone else. [Her husband Corey] left this world a hero and God welcomed him in. He did not die in vain that day.”

JUST IN: The widow of Corey Comperatore has received a call from President Donald Trump after her husband was shot at the PA rally.

"He was very kind and said he would continue to call me in the days and weeks ahead," Helen Comperatore said.

Helen told Trump that her husband "left this world a hero, and God welcomed him in."

Helen and Corey were high school sweethearts. Helen said her husband loved his hometown and refused to ever leave.

"You couldn’t have paid him to move from his hometown. This was his home. These were his people," Corey's sister said.

"There just isn’t an adjective strong enough for you all to understand exactly how shattered we are."

The father of two died protecting his family when shots rang out, ordering them to "get down" and then shielding their bodies with his own. 

He had been so excited to attend his first rally for Mr. Trump that he woke up early to get in line, even after a late evening at a Chris Stapleton concert, Ms. Comperatore Meeder said. He texted their mother that he and his family had been able to switch seats to get closer to the president. Their mother, Ms. Comperatore Meeder said, wanted him to wave at the television cameras so she could watch him.

When the shooting occurred minutes into Mr. Trump’s speech, Mr. Comperatore dove to shield his family members from gunfire, according to Gov. Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania.

Ms. Comperatore Meeder said she held media outlets “very much responsible” for her brother’s death because of the way she believes they have depicted Mr. Trump and his supporters. (NYT)

President Biden also reached out to Helen, but the widow said she did not take the call. 

“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 told the New York Post. 

“I support Trump. That’s who I’m voting for, but I don’t have ill will towards Biden,” she added. “He didn’t do anything bad to my husband. A 20-year-old despicable kid did.”

A Trump-backed fundraiser for the victims of Saturday's shooting smashed its $1 million goal, reaching more than $5 million by Wednesday.

You can bet biden’s 87,000 new IRS agents will be all over that. Also watch for a DoJ prosecution of the family for “mishandling charitable funds”.

Corey’s funeral is on Saturday from what I read on twitter and Trump will be there

[rolling_stone]

I would have taken bidens call and called him out..bullseye and worst president in US history..

[Indy Pendance]

What’s she supposed to say? Her husband was just murdered. She doesn’t need the MSM all over her too.

[9YearLurker]

Lo-info wife. Not the only one in the country.

She should have said nothing about Biden. Blame the kid, but say no more. She absolved Biden of *any* wrongdoing.

[Macho MAGA Man]

(she’s laying complete blame on the kid and none on Biden, the DEMs, or the MSM. I’m sorry for her loss, but that stance hits me the wrong way)

You have to think of it this way, she’s been grieving with her kids and family and hasn’t had the luxury to surf the net like we all are on a daily basis trying to put the pieces together of how this happened and who were the inside players helping this kid out.

She says she doesn’t blame Biden but she refused to talk to him, actions sometimes speak louder than words.

[Ann Archy]

She OBVIOUSLY is a DEMOCRAT. She ONLY didn’t take the call from BIDEN because her dead husband WASN’T a BIDEN supporter.
GOD BLESS THE HERO!

Maybe so, but that’s gift income = not taxable. Taxable to the giver to the extent it exceeds the gift limit, but not taxable to the recipient

[fwdude]

So, she told Biden to F’off and DEI.

Good.

[CatOwner]

She says she doesn’t blame Biden but she refused to talk to him, actions sometimes speak louder than words.

She claims that's because her husband, who was a solid Trump supporter, would have wanted her to. Then she goes on to add, “I support Trump. That’s who I’m voting for, but I don’t have ill will towards Biden,” she added. “He didn’t do anything bad to my husband. A 20-year-old despicable kid did.”

Biden didn't do anything bad. Ugh.

[Indy Pendance]

Probably, but that’s all shoulda, woulda, coulda. No one knows how they would respond if they were in a situation like this, she’s heartbroken.

[TonyinLA]

You think little things like the reasonable application of law is an impediment to the dem deep state? Trump was prosecuted for (1) overvaluing collateral on fully repaid loans and (2) his accountant labeling legal payment as ‘legal services’ on internal ledgers.

[Midwesterner53]

God bless this family and heal those injured. And I pray for Donald Trump to continue to wear the body armor of the Lord, guaranteed to deflect any earthly projectiles.

[Dead Corpse]

The difference between the Left and the Right in a nutshell right there.

Prayers for this woman and her family...

"President Biden also reached out to Helen, but the widow said she did not take the call."

In addition to taking a call from a traitor to the United States of America, it also would be taking a call from an accomplice to her husband's murder!!
