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 told the 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.'
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.
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.
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".
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.
You can’t discount the selfish and hateful as stupid as even the most vile people can be cunning. I’d agree that the median conservative would be less intelligent than the median liberal, but that discludes the folks looking to take from others their money, freedom, and time in order to enrich themselves monetarily or psychologically. Not everything can be Hanlon’s razor’d, sometimes people just enjoy sucking.
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.
I mean, she already has a chance to buy a $50,000 NFT that enters her to win a lunch with a cardboard cutout of trump? Greedy people, man... What else do you want?
Also, "I actually like fascist rally goers that take bullets for me and DON'T die, okay? Let's face it, okay, your dead husband was a loser, ma'am, and he wouldn't like you being such a nasty woman to such a jesus like me, okay? Anyway, I heard you were single now, maybe you need some money to take care of your kids and I have an opportunity the likes of which some are saying they've never seen - they call it "oppty-wopty" for short, okay, some of them do and you know that and I know that... But, I know a TREMENDOUS and quick way for you to make $130,000? Do you like weird shaped/smelling mushrooms? SNIFF"
