She posted about Trump’s phone call on her Facebook account, according to the New York Post .

“He was very kind and said he would continue to call me in the days and weeks ahead,” she said.

“I told him the same thing I told everyone else. He left this world a hero and God welcomed him in. He did not die in vain that day,” she said .

On Monday, it was reported that President Joe Biden attempted to contact her and offer his condolences. She declined to speak to him, however, saying that she is a Trump supporter, as was her husband.

“I didn’t talk to Biden,” Comperatore said . “I didn’t want to talk to him. My husband was a devout Republican, and he would not have wanted me to talk to him.”

She claimed she did not have any ill will toward Biden but that she preferred not to talk to him and was apolitical.

“I don’t have any ill will toward Joe Biden,” she told the New York Post. “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 toward Biden,” Comperatore said. “He didn’t do anything bad to my husband. A 20-year-old despicable kid did.”
