According to reports, the Biden White House reached out to Helen Comperatore, the widow of firefighter hero Corey Comperatore, but she declined the call.
The heartbroken widow of Corey Comperatore, the hero firefighter shot dead 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 from her Pennsylvania home on Monday. “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.”
Comperatore may also be aware of how Biden tends to turn others’ losses into an excuse to talk about his grief over his son Beau. In a 2021 meeting that Biden held with Gold Star families who had lost their sons and daughters in the botched Afghanistan withdrawal, the family of Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Rylee McCollum had this to say:
But this time, he was present for tragic circumstances he has accepted blame for setting into motion, and some family members of the dead service members remained angry 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 and her sister and her father joined McCollum’s wife, Jiennah McCollum, on the trip. But when it came time to meet with the president, they left the room, because she said they did not want to speak with the man they held responsible for McCollum’s death.
Only Jiennah, who is expecting the couple’s child next month, stayed. But she left disappointed, Roice said. The president brought up his son, Beau, according to her account, describing his son’s military service and subsequent death from cancer. It struck the family as scripted and shallow, a conversation that lasted only a couple of minutes in “total disregard to the loss of our Marine,” Roice said.
Then there is the tragic rape and murder of Laken Riley. At the March State of the Union address, GA Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene gave Biden a pin with her name on it and asked her to be mentioned. Biden could not even get her name right.
Greene gave him a pin with Riley’s name on it, encouraging him to say her name. But then, despite the fact he had the pin with her name on it, he still said her name wrong, referring to her as “Lincoln Riley.” Then he tried to say he understood what her family felt because he had lost children. But he didn’t have any children murdered, allegedly by an illegal alien in a completely preventable act, because the alleged leader of the country wouldn’t secure our border.
And days after young Jocelyn Nungaray’s rape and murder by two illegals, Biden still had not reached out to her family. Donald Trump called Nungaray’s mother before he appeared on stage with Biden at the June debate.
So, Comperatore must have sensed that an attempt at communication with Biden is best avoided. Comperatore said she has no ill will towards Biden, she just doesn’t wish to hear from him.
“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.”
