President Biden calls widow of victim shot at rally while Trump snubs grieving family.


The widow of the victim shot by Crooks has been contacted by President Joe Biden to offer condolences.

"Joe Biden called me. I don't have any ill will toward Joe Biden. He didn't do anything to my husband. A 20 year old despicable kid did.

Our family has not heard from Donald Trump."

reply

That's a shocker.

reply

Typically nauseating display by Trump of total indifference to real people and real tragedy.

reply

You'd think somebody on Trump's staff would have the sense to get him on the phone to the victim's widow (as well as each of the other two men wounded in the gunfire). It might not occur to Trump, but that's crazy that no one had the brains to arrange those three calls. Maybe even have Trump visit the two wounded men in the hospital before he leaves PA?

reply

Why should his staff be any better than he is. Behaviour breeds behavior. You work for an asshole you become like that asshole. Any half decent person who's ever met him is repulsed by him.

reply

look at the idiots he hires, they're just as pigheaded as he is

reply

Agreed, but you'd think one of them would have the sense to advise it out of purely political motives, having nothing at all to do with basic, human compassion.

Something like:

"Uhh, sir, I hate to interrupt all this revelry, and yes, this is a major boon for your campaign, but could I take you aside for, ohh, three minutes so you can call the widow of the rally attendee who was killed? It might look bad if you don't offer your condolences."

"Oh, excuse the word choice, sir. 'Condolences,' are kind words like 'I'm sorry,' that you say to another human being when someone they love has died."

"I know you're not sorry, sir; none of us are. But it's just something you should say so that the liberal press doesn't have a chance to write nasty things about you."

Do you know how time, chronology works?

It took Trump another ten hours after Biden had called Mrs Comperatore because he was too busy parading around with a comical fake bandage trying to earn sympathy when there was an actual victim and his family being ignored by the target of the gunman.

Are you fucking stupid? Or just a cunt?

By your shit for brains logic. Yesterday's newspaper is "straight up lies" because it says it's Tuesday when in fact today is Wednesday.

reply

[deleted]

How is it a false narrative? Are you calling the widow a liar for saying Trump hadn't called her but Biden did?

reply

[deleted]

Trump only called after the bad press about him not calling.

reply

you're trying to reason with a brainwashed fool who's sole ambition in life is to one day be able to suck Trump's nuts.

don't sink to his level, just take your win and move on otherwise you'll spend your whole life debating a series of brick walls

reply

You are the idiot. In the eyes of Brandon Trump is his vice president.

Huh? Should there be more punctuation in there?

reply

That's your argument? Really?

reply

Haha, it's so funny seeing the desperation of these people when they see Trump is becoming president again.

reply

[deleted]

Yes, that's exactly what it is. It's better that he called than to have not called at all, but when numerous articles are written that point out your political opponent attempted to contact the widow before you picked up a phone, it looks more like damage control vs. basic human decency.

reply

So? It doesn't Matter when he called, It matters that he called.

reply

What a load of shite and you know it. Biden knew it. That's why he didn't wait three days to call the widow and only after there was bad publicity about it.

It fucking matters when your clown show is parading himself for sympathy with a ridiculous prop bandage that makes him look like he's in a shit Jerry Lewis film.

reply

In your mind maybe this bullshit hurts him, but fortunately is only in your mind, because for the rest of the world he is a Hero Who survived a murder attempt, cry cry all you want!

reply

It seems to hurt you because you cannot respond to it except with chest thumping drivel.

reply

What do you want me to respond, that Trump is a bad person? Ok, he is a bad person, so? HI care is he is a good president and he is, and anyway he is winning this november. Go to the mirror and cry all you want if you feel better that way.

reply

You should go up to Mr Comperatore's widow and screech/drool your message of "I don't care if Trump didn't call you for days after your husband was murdered right next to him while attending your rally." right in her face.

reply

¿? Are you gonna say something that surpasses the dialectics capacity of a toddler or are you gonna keep whining as the loser who knows Trump is winning again this november and can't do nothing to avoid it?

reply

At least I know how to use question marks.

reply

Typical answer of a loser. What are you gonna do the next 8 years of Trump presidency, be locked in your house, whining all day?

reply

You realise you are accusing me of narrow mindedness, yet every single one of your posts has you crying the same non-sequitur about winning the presidency. A question nobody asked.

reply

But that's the only important question. You can cry and shout to the mirror what a baaaad person trump is all you want, that doesn't mean shit because he is gonna take the elections by storm. But if it makes you feel better you can do it, it's ok :)

reply

You must be a real source of comfort to the mourners at funerals and wakes, DavidM.

reply

Tell that to Biden, the responsible of the death of this man. Calling his widow IS the least he could do after killing his husband.

reply

I might understand your point, but this sentence, as written, is unintelligible.

reply

Now?

Haha the widow refused to talk with Biden, good done.

reply

Total bullshit to attempt to undo the damage caused by a grieving widow telling the truth.

All she says is that she didn't answer because her husband was politically bigoted and would not answer the phone to a president of the USA because he was a devout Trumpist (confirming that his supporters think they are in a religion/cult).

She still took the time to point out that she does not wish Biden ill and to emphasise that Biden still reached out to her while Trump ignored her in favour of a few photo opportunities with a ludicrous fake bandage, not contacting her for another 24 hours.

Usually after assassination attempts, the first thing the target does is visit the actual victims.

Trump has already made it quite clear that he views "victims" as losers. The fallen who made the ultimate sacrifice in war? Just a bunch of losers who should have gotten a coward's deferment like he did.

reply

It isn't bullshit, is totally true, you moron. It's pathetic you try to defend Biden, he is a political corpse, Accept It.

reply

Why don't you look into a mirror and repeat this 1000 times? Maybe you get to convince yourself that Trump is a bad baaad person Who doesn't deserve to be president again :(

reply

I want to be careful not to criticize Mrs. Comperatore, as she has suffered the most out of anybody as a result of this horrendous affair. However, I wish she could have kept politics out of it and picked up the call from President Biden. Not because he is the president. Rather, in the blink of an eye he lost his first wife and infant daughter. He has lost both of his parents. His firstborn son died of neuroblastoma as a result of living next to a burn pit when he was stationed in the Middle East. He might know a thing or two about grief and what helps survivors feel better in the wake of losing a loved one.

reply

I doubt that she even refused to take the call. The interview seems very rushed damage limitation after the initial reports where she explained that Biden called but Trump still hadn't.

It looks like a direct response and could only have been arranged and pushed that way by Trump's campaign. Making promises to phone lots of times. It's vomit inducing.

This was on July 14th, the next day. He did not forget about the other victims.

Donald Trump Sends Personal Message After Shooting: 'Stand United'

"I want to thank The United States Secret Service, and all of Law Enforcement, for their rapid response on the shooting that just took place in Butler, Pennsylvania," Trump wrote on his page. "Most importantly, I want to extend my condolences to the family of the person at the Rally who was killed, and also to the family of another person that was badly injured. It is incredible that such an act can take place in our Country.”

“Our love goes out to the other victims and their families. We pray for the recovery of those who were wounded and hold in our hearts the memory of the citizen who was so horribly killed. In this moment, it is more important than ever that we stand united, and show our true character as Americans, remaining strong and determined, and not allowing evil to win."

reply

He couldn't take the time to mention the victims by name? The identities of the man who was killed and the men who were critically injured was known by the time he wrote this. If he wrote it. It doesn't take AI to write like Trump (although I wouldn't put that past him or his staffers).

reply

trump did mention the victims in his comment

reply

I wonder what mental gymnastics will right-wingers use to excuse Trump and bash Biden.

reply

You have to be mental to continue with your lies. You are a pathological liar. An action more dangerous than a liar…is a liar who believes his/her own lies.

”Comperatore’s sister, Kelly Comperatore Meeder, said the family had spoken to other Trump campaign officials Monday evening, and they had declined an invitation to speak with President Biden.

Comperatore told the New York Post that she didn’t want to talk to Biden because her husband was a devout Republican and wouldn’t have wanted that.”

reply

Are you calling Mrs Comparatore a liar when she said that Biden had called her but Trump had not?
