Helen Comperatore, the widow of Corey Comperatore, refused to answer a call from President Joe Biden following her husband’s death.
Corey Comperatore was killed during the assassination attempt on Donald Trump on July 13.
“I didn’t talk to Biden,” Comperatore told the New York Post. “I didn’t want to talk to him. My husband was a devout Republican and he would not have wanted me to talk to him.”
She described the rally shooting, explaining that her husband shouted for the family to “get down.”
Comperatore noted that she does not “have any ill will towards Joe Biden.”
“I’m not one of those people that gets involved in politics,” she said.
“I support Trump. That’s who I’m voting for, but I don’t have ill will towards Biden,” she reiterated. “He didn’t do anything bad to my husband. A 20-year-old despicable kid did.”
A member of the family released a statement following Comperatore’s death.
“He was a man of God, loved Jesus fiercely, and also looked after our church and our members as family,” the statement read, in part.
