Helen Comperatore, the wife of the man killed at Donald Trump s rally last weekend, said Monday in an interview with the New York Post that she has not yet heard from the former president and had declined to speak to President Joe Biden when he reached out.

Comperatore was with her husband, Corey, and their daughter in the rally audience in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday when a gunman opened fire and attempted to assassinate Trump. Corey Comperatore, a former fire chief, used his body to shield his family and was struck in the head by gunfire. The 50-year-old died on the scene.

Helen Comperatore described her husband as a hero to the Post, saying his last words to his family were get down! She also told the outlet that Trump had not reached out to her family and that Biden attempted to call her, but she didnt speak with him.

I didnt talk to Biden. I didnt want to talk to him, Helen Comperatore said. My husband was a devout Republican and he would not have wanted me to talk to him.
