The 50-year-old hero’s “devastated” widow, as Trump described her in his speech, advised The Put up this week she refused to take President Biden’s name after the homicide.
“I didn’t discuss to Biden,” mother-of-two Helen Comperatore stated Monday from her Pennsylvania dwelling. “I didn’t wish to discuss to him. My husband was a religious Republican, and he wouldn’t have wished me to speak to him.”
Corey Comperatore was the Buffalo Township Volunteer Hearth Firm’s chief for a pair years round 20 years in the past earlier than decreasing his function to give attention to his household, although he remained an energetic firefighter.
“He was considered one of them guys you wished to enter a hearth with, trigger you knew you have been coming again out,” firm president and 15-year veteran Randy Reamer advised The Put up a day after the rally. “S–t hit the fan, and also you have been coming again out with him.”
“What a fantastic man he was,” an emotional Trump stated Thursday night time earlier than asking the viewers to take “a second of silence in honor of our good friend Corey.”
