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.

Wait until she meets with Trump but not Biden. The MSM will take the gloves off and trash her. They'll say this just shows she's one of the evil Trump supporters (maybe even imply her husband deserved to die and is Trump's fault).

Mark my words, this is going to get uglier very soon. Which is why I wish she hadn't spoken to the press in the first place.

Thumbs up!

[9YearLurker]

I didn’t insult her. I gave an explanation.

And there is never any reason for you to be so nasty—here or elsewhere.

[laplata]

She OBVIOUSLY is a DEMOCRAT.

><

You’re obviously not right in the head.

[laplata]

I stand by what I said.

Enough.

[Ann Archy]

Yeah right.

[Ann Archy]

You CAN support Trump EVEN IF YOU ARE A DEMOCRAT!! with BRAINS.

[Magic Fingers]

What a ride! I’m happy to have had this site as a place to share/discuss those experiences - as well as a place to learn (minus the blowhards and know-it-alls, of course).

[9YearLurker]

As do I.

“It’s time to put Trump in a bullseye.” — Joe Biden, Monday, July 8, 2024

On Saturday, July 13, someone put Trump in a bullseye.

[TBP]

I’m a widower. My wife died of natural causes (heart rupture), not of violence, but it was also sudden, so I get how heartbroken she must be. It’s incredibly painful. If you don’t understand, be thankful that you don’t.

She probably also understand the vicious, amoral cruelty of the regime and its pet media. She is dealing with enough; she doesn’t need a political controversy swirling around her and her family.

[TBP]

Absolutely agreed. Let her grieve as she sees fit. Simply hold her in prayer.

[wgmalabama]

May God bless her and her family. He already blessed her husband ma letting him be the man he was. So sad.

[TBP]

when in fact THEY are planting seeds of violence.

Purposely, intentionally, and deliberately.

[TBP]

There used to be a street reporter in New York named Gabe Pressman. His specialty was going up to someone who had just lost a family member to violence or a tragic accident, or something of that ilk, sticking a mike in the person’s face, and asking questions like “How do you feel?” “Do you have anything to say to this other person?”

Everyone hated him. How did she know she wasn’t talking to that kind of reporter?

[TBP]

Like President Trump, President Reagan, and a lot of others.

[Indy Pendance]

You said it better than me. I’m sorry for your loss.

[TBP]

Maybe they should use GiveSendGo.

[TBP]

Especially with this regime. That's who they ARE.

[TBP]

Only to decent people, which does not include the regime or the mainstream media.
