Since Corey Comperatore was shot and killed by a now deceased gunman during Donald Trump's Butler, Pennsylvania rally Saturday, the former fire chief's family has yet to hear from the ex-president, according to his wife, Helen Comperatore.Per TODAY, Corey "Comperatore was an avid Trump supporter who...
Helen [spouse of deceased Corey Comperatore] told the [New York] Post that President Joe Biden tried to call her, but she declined to speak to him since her husband 'was a devout Republican, and he would not have wanted me to talk to him.'
But she added that she does not hold the current president responsible for what happened to her family.
'I don't have any ill will towards Joe Biden,' she said. 'I'm not one of those people that gets involved in politics. I support Trump, that's who I'm voting for, but I don't have ill-will towards Biden. He didn't do anything to my husband. A 20-year-old despicable kid did.'
Oof. It's just sad to see how brainwashed persons are. Blind, unflagging faith in Trump. Nothing will shake them out of Trump Loyalism, even when they're slapped in the face with reality like this. Not even a faux-Tweet on Truth Social, SMS, or a phone call? But Biden tried to contact her? 'I didn't want to take Biden's phone call, because my husband loved Trump and he wouldn't want me talking with him because he's destroying America. Meanwhile, I'll just vote for the person leading the Grand Old Party that will take away my rights while destroying America.'

'I don’t have any ill will towards Joe Biden,' she said. 'I’m not one of those people that gets involved in politics. I support Trump, that’s who I’m voting for, but I don’t have ill-will towards Biden.'
Let's see:
Decides who to ignore calls from based on her husband's wishes
Claims to not be involved in politics, yet supports a certain candidate
Yep, that's a garden-variety republican.
The important takeaway here is that Biden made an effort to reach out.
I think it’s also important to note that we didn’t hear about this from Biden’s camp. They did their job cause it was the right thing to do, not for some publicity stunt.
"Devout Republican" is also pretty telling. These people aren't politically Conservative, they are religiously Republican. They worship their party and its leaders, and just like religion, they never require evidence for anything they believe.
Conservatism is not an ideology for smart people or critical thinkers.
Sadly, she won't realize shit. These people don't have revelations about who they support politically. They bury their heads in the sand eternally. I still know people who are die hard George W Bush supporters and think he was the best president we've ever had.
Following simple directions
Getting off stage
Acknowledging his staff was in danger
Getting the fuck away from danger
Asking about anyone else being injured
Leaving the scene
You know....NORMAL FUCKING SHIT
But no, he needed to stand on stage AND at his get away vehicle to throw his fist up like he personally took down the gunmen.
I cringed watching the SS try to get him to safety and he refused. I was just hoping no one else was going to get shot while he tried to be some kind of "hero".
Ok my respect is quickly dropping for these buffoons caught in the crossfire. But it's like interviewing an attendee from a nazi rally, what should I expect? Critical thinking? Morals? Hah!
"devout Republican" haha... They're a religious cult.
So you have time to make up shit about illegal immigrant mass murders but you can't respond to my receipts of the Heritage Foundation call to hatred when you first got on the Lemmy bloc? Lemmy dont forget anything but meme reposts, son. Where's them links on those illegal immigrant murder victims not getting a call from Biden? I want them.
“The President of the United States of America called me, and my turd of a husband told him to fuck off. Oh, but I don’t get involved in politics…“
Yeah, right lady. Your son just tried to assassinate someone running for president, your husband just basically told the current president to go fuck himself, and you say nothing. You don’t think that’s taking a position? Fuck you.
Edit: so it wasn’t the shooter’s mother. Explain how that changes anything.
Garbage, Trump talks to victims families all the time, recently the families of those killed by illegal immigrants, unlike Biden who hasn't spoken to any of them
4 day old account, nothing but very negative rated posts about right wing talking points, "oh gee I wonder if this is a sincere and reasonable person with some valid points"
Sound the alarms queer mafia, we got an infilltrator!
He did just get shot. Maybe once the adrenaline wore off he wasn't in too great of shape. His age and poor health won't be helping him bounce back quickly.
I won't begrudge someone their favorite hobby after getting shot, even if they are an asshole.
How do you know the President is calling? If I saw a caller ID saying anything like that I’m going to assume spam. Unknown DC number, also spam.
Does an aide come to my door and hand me a phone, or warn me that the next call is official?
Otherwise of course I missed the call, guess the President gets to leave a voicemail! And we can play telephone tag with his staff until there’s another moment in his day…?
I'm not entirely sure myself. Some callers are recognized by a carrier and get custom names (at least my does it), so there's probably a way to communicate the president is calling. It won't play the national anthem instead of a ringtone, but that, at least, would make it stand out from random spam callers.
