SARVER, Pa. — The heartbroken widow of Corey Comperatore, the hero firefighter shot and killed by a sniper at a Trump rally, wanted nothing to do with President Biden when he called after the tragedy, she told The Post.
“I didn’t talk to Biden,” Helen Comperatore said Monday from her Pennsylvania home. “I didn’t want to talk to him. My husband was a staunch Republican and he wouldn’t have wanted me to talk to him.”
Corey Comperatore, a beloved volunteer firefighter and married father of two, was at the Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday with his family when deranged sniper Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, opened fire.
A bullet hit the former president in the ear, two rally-goers were injured and Corey Comperatore was killed in the shootout.
Helen Comperatore said it must have been an “exciting day” for the family to support Trump.
When the gunshots rang out, her husband instinctively shouted, “Get down!” and used his body to shield his family from the sniper’s bullets – and it cost him his life.
She said the former president did not reach out, but Biden’s call was not welcome.
“I have no hard feelings toward Joe Biden. I’m not one of those people who gets involved in politics.
“I support Trump. That’s who I’m voting for, but I have no hard feelings toward Biden,” she added. “He didn’t do anything wrong to my husband. A despicable 20-year-old kid did it.”
