Corey Comperatore, 50, was killed while attending a rally for Donald J. Trump for the first time.
The widow of the slain victim in Saturday’s shooting in Pennsylvania spoke with former President Donald J. Trump on Tuesday, she said in a social media post.
“He was very kind and said he would continue to call me in the days and weeks ahead,” Helen Comperatore wrote, adding that she had told the former president that her husband, Corey Comperatore, “left this world a hero, and God welcomed him in.”
Mr. Comperatore’s sister, Kelly Comperatore Meeder, said members of the family had also spoken with representatives of the Trump campaign on Monday night. Ms. Comperatore Meeder said they had declined an invitation to speak with President Biden.
Mr. Comperatore, 50, was an ardent supporter of Mr. Trump and was eager on Saturday to see the former president for the first time in person. His sister said on Tuesday that her family believed that anger toward Mr. Trump was sown by President Biden and media outlets and had led to the fatal shooting.

How do you pronounce Corey’s last name? I haven’t heard it pronounced yet.
This is a first. NY Post criticizing Trump and NYT defending him?
catherine oxenburg has donated 50k to the victim fund
her daughter was involved with a sex cult and had to save her.
Strange things afoot, surely.
Fifteen minutes before this post, another citing NYP that DJT had not yet called the widow.
Sad.
Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.
Extra credit for refusing Brandon’s call.
Of course he did. That’s how he works.
Which raises an interesting question.
Have any democrats or biden done the same?
Watch Trump do something like pay off the guy’s mortgage or buy her a new car to provide for her, and I could see him paying the medical bills their insurance didn’t cover or take care of the co-pays for those injured.
(catherine oxenburg has donated 50k to the victim fund
her daughter was involved with a sex cult and had to save her)
What? What does this (sex cult) have to do with Corey’s wife and daughters?
The local (Pittsburgh) news said she had refused a a call from Biden.
More “ tore ay” though we Ities have differences depending on where we or our forebears are from. My Calabrese grandparents would have said “ay” but very lightly. Like TOR ay.
It’s about someone who donated 50k to the victim fund. Clearly she has been through a lot.
As someone who married an Italian and grew up around Italians, I’m going to take my best educated guess;
Com-par-a-TOR-ray
Americanized version of Comparatore, meaning standard setter.
Americanized pronunciation may be:
COM-per-a-TOR-ee
It’s interesting how pronunciations will change based on location.
When my family came to the US, the “u” in my last name changed from an “oo” to an “uh’ sound.
When my friend’s family came over, they cut three whole syllables off the family name!
Trump began the GoFundMe for the family of the deceased man and for the two injured men. The article that I read did not say how much Trump himself donated to it but the total was over $2 million almost immediately.
I agree: Com-par-a-TOR-ray
Btw, Oxenburg’s donation is significant given who her husband is. Ellis Jones.
One of the top donors is a company that may or may not be connected to Trump. Opposition has been digging into it. Launchpad Strategies.
Trump sponsored GoFundMe has raised more than $6 Million, a separate GoFundMe has raised more than $1 Million.
