Staff Reports
Helen Comperatore, the widow of the brave volunteer firefighter shot at Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, evidently has her priorities straight. Declining a call from President Biden, Helen stated she didn’t have any interest in talking to him. Her husband, Corey, a staunch Republican, would have been spinning in his grave at just the thought of it.
Corey, who was a hero both in life and tragically in death, lost his life while heroically shielding his family from gunfire. His daughter, Allyson, took to social media to make sure people knew the real story. According to her poignant post, Corey acted swiftly and selflessly, pushing his wife and daughter to the ground and shielding them from the bullets. A real-life superhero if there ever was one.

Helen continues to navigate this tragedy with grace, reiterating her stance on politics. While she declined Biden’s call, it’s not from a place of personal animus. She isn’t out here holding grudges against the President. Helen simply respects her husband’s unwaverable political convictions and stays clear of political gamesmanship. She maintains that her vote is firmly for Trump, believing he’s the right man for the job.
It didn’t take long for President Trump’s team to rally in support of the victims, with a Trump-backed fundraiser amassing over $4.7 million. The GoFundMe page, personally authorized by Trump, ensures the financial support for Corey’s family and others affected by this senseless act. The funds are a testament to the strength and unity of the patriotic base that stands firmly behind the victims of this brutality.
There’s no mistaking the sentiment here: while the left panders and points fingers, true Americans step up for one another in times of crisis. Helen Comperatore’s decision to deny Biden’s call speaks volumes about her unwavering principles and the tight-knit community that continues to fight for what it believes in. Actions speak louder than words, and Helen and Allyson are the living proof.
