Former President Donald Trump honored his supporter, Corey Comperatore, who was murdered by a would be assassins bullet at the rally where Thomas Crooks attempted to take the former president’s life.

It was a beautiful speech as the former president honored the heroic firefighter, husband and dad who died shielding his family from gunfire.

The former president made the speech as he returned to the scene of the attack in Butler, Pennsylvania for a rally on Saturday.

“Of course, there’s one more hero who could not make it back here tonight because he is no longer with us,” the former president said. “We all miss him. He’s become somewhat of a folk hero!”

“Thank you very much. Thank you very much thank you very much. Great family. A great, incredible family. And he loved you a lot and you know his wife said something very beautiful. The public a lot of people, all of us, a lot of people have been very generous [to her]. And she said I’d rather have my husband. That’s a good thing to say. That’s a good thing to say. I’d rather have my husband. Incredible husband and father, a devout Christian, a veteran, and a proud former fire chief, very respected within the town,” the former president said.

“Everybody knew him. Few men volunteered to run into fires, but Corey was one of those who did. He ran into fires. I spoke to people that were with this guy, [he] would do anything, he was brave, right? Brave guy and he was also a protector who put his life on the line for others. And he loved doing it. And when the sound of gunshots pierced the air on that July evening, Corey lept into the fire one more time and his last seconds on this Earth. He threw himself on the top of his wife and daughters. He didn’t want them hurt. He threw himself. He knew what was happening. He didn’t want them hurt and he was hit hard. He was hit hard and he gave his life to shield theirs,” he said before asking the crowd to join him in a moment of silence at 6:11 PM, which was 12 weeks to the minute of the attack.
