She said, “Me and the kids were all there as a family. He was just excited. It was going to be a nice day with the family.” However, she grimly added, “It was a bad day,” she added. He was a very loving husband.”

Corey’s wife refuses word with Biden

While the Comperatore family is yet to receive word from Trump after the shooting at the rally, Helen refused to talk to the current President of the US Joe Biden. “I don’t have any ill-will towards Joe Biden,” she said firmly on the decision that he is not welcomed.

She further added, “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.”

Her family created a GoFundMe, and it has raised $990,000. She remarked that ever since the incident, the response has been overwhelming.
