President Biden tried to score political points with a grieving widow, but it backfired spectacularly. Helen Comperatore, widow of the heroic fireman Corey Comperatore who died protecting his family at a Donald Trump rally, wasn’t having any of it. Despite the tragedy, she refused a call from Biden, underscoring the chasm between the current administration and true American patriots.
Helen made it clear that her decision was not born out of personal animosity towards Biden but was made in honor of her late husband, a devout Republican who would have undoubtedly rolled in his grave at the thought of conversing with Sleepy Joe. In an interview from her home in Pennsylvania, she revealed that her husband’s final act of bravery was urging his family to get down as he shielded them, a stark contrast to the empty gestures from the White House.

Biden’s attempt at a consolatory call was met with a steadfast refusal from Helen, who stated she supports Donald Trump and has no interest in Biden’s empty platitudes. Even though her husband’s tragic death was caused by the actions of a deranged individual, Helen has her priorities straight, focusing not on political grandstanding but on the values her husband held dear.
Interestingly, Helen also noted that Trump has not reached out, and while some might see this as a point of contention, it shows that Trump respects the family’s space in their time of grief. Unlike Biden, who seemed all too eager to insert himself into the narrative, Trump’s silence speaks volumes about his respect for the Comperatore family.
In the end, Helen’s decision to reject Biden’s call reflects a broader sentiment among true conservatives. When faced with tragedy, real Americans look to their values and principles, not to hollow gestures from politicians who don’t share them.
