Late Trump Rallygoer Was A ‘Real-Life Superhero’ Who Took A Bullet To Protect His Family
Corey Comperatore will be remembered by the media and many simply as the Trump rallygoer who was struck and killed by a bullet meant to assassinate the former president. His wife and daughters, however, say he’s a “real-life superhero” who fought for his family until his dying breath.
Comperatore was one of the thousands of eager Pennsylvanians who showed up to Butler Farm Show grounds on Saturday to support former President Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign. What started as an exciting bucket list event for Comperatore, his wife, and one of his daughters, however, quickly turned traumatic when he was struck in the head by a shot intended for Trump mere minutes into the Republican’s speech.
Allyson Comperatore, the engineer and former fire-chief-turned-volunteer-firefighter’s daughter, took to Facebook in a now-private post to remember “what the media will not cover, and will not say” about her dad including “how quickly he threw my mom and I to the ground” and “shielded my body from the bullet that came at us.”
“He loved his family. He truly loved us enough to take a real bullet for us. And I want nothing more than to cry on him and tell him thank you. I want nothing more than to wake up and for this to not be reality for me and my family,” Allyson wrote.
Comperatore, who recently celebrated his 50th birthday, was what Allyson called “the best dad a girl could ever ask for.”
“My sister and I never needed for anything. You call, he would answer, and he would do whatever it is you needed, and if he didn’t know how he would figure out how,” she continued.
In addition to going above and beyond in his roles as husband and father, Comperatore was talkative and could “make friends with anyone, which he was doing all day yesterday and loved every minute of it.” He was also deeply involved in his community and local church.
“He was a man of God, loved Jesus fiercely, and also looked after our church and our members as family,” she said.
Comperatore’s social media activity indicated he was a classic working-class Trump voter who was frustrated with Republican lawmakers for choosing grandstanding investigations and letter-writing campaigns over holding Democrats accountable for their schemes.
He also expressed disdain for President Joe Biden’s partisan persecution of his top political opponent.
“We’re not stupid people,” Comperatore wrote in a December 2023 reply to Biden, who claimed “the greatest threat” Trump “poses is to our democracy.”
Comperatore’s sister noted in a eulogy for her little brother that the Democrat regime- and media-fueled “hatred for one man,” Trump, is what “took the life of the one man we loved the most.”
A “Trump authorized” GoFundMe asking for donations “to the supporters and families wounded or killed in today’s brutal and horrific assassination attempt” like Comperatore managed to raise well over $3.7 million since Saturday night.
