The Biden White House has reportedly contacted Helen Comperatore, the widow of firefighter hero Corey Comperatore, but she rejected the call.
The heartbroken widow of Corey Comperatore, the heroic firefighter shot 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 home in Pennsylvania. “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.”
Comperatore may also be aware of Biden’s tendency to utilize the losses of others as an excuse to talk about his grief over his son, Beau. At a 2021 meeting Biden held with Gold Star families who lost their sons and daughters in the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, the family of Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Rylee McCollum said the following:
But this time he was present at the tragic events he claimed responsibility for creating, and some families of the fallen soldiers remained incensed with him, including the family of Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Rylee McCollum, one of the 13 Americans who died last week.
One of McCollum’s sisters, Roice, said she, her sister and her father accompanied McCollum’s wife, Jiennah McCollum, on the trip, but when it was time to meet the president, they left the room because they did not want to speak to the man they blamed for McCollum’s death.
Only Jiennah, who is expecting the couple’s child next month, stayed. But she left disappointed, Roice said. The president, according to her testimony, addressed his son Beau and described his son’s military service and subsequent death from cancer. The family found the conversation rehearsed and superficial, a conversation that lasted only a few minutes and “completely ignored the loss of our Marine,” Roice said.
Then there’s the tragic rape and murder of Laken Riley. At the State of the Union address in March, Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene gave Biden a pin with her name on it and asked to be mentioned. Biden couldn’t even pronounce her name correctly.
Greene gave him a pin with Riley’s name on it and told him to pronounce her name. However, even though he was wearing the pin with her name on it, he mispronounced her name and called her “Lincoln Riley.” He then tried to say that he understood how her family felt because he had lost children. But he did not let children be murdered, supposedly by an illegal immigrant in a completely preventable act, because the supposed leader of the country did not want to secure our border.
And days after the rape and murder of adolescent Jocelyn Nungaray by two illegal immigrants, Biden had still not contacted her family. Donald Trump called Nungaray’s mother before appearing on stage with Biden at the June debate.
So Comperatore must have sensed that any attempt to communicate with Biden was best avoided. Comperatore said she had no grudge against Biden, she just didn’t want to hear from him.
“I support Trump. He is the man I am voting for, but I have no grudge against Biden,” she added. “He did nothing bad to my husband. That was done by a despicable 20-year-old boy.”
