Former President Donald Trump called for a moment of silence to honor Corey Comperatore, the man who tragically lost his life during an attempted assassination at a rally. Trump's request for the moment of silence took place during his speech at the Republican National Convention, where he paid tribute to Comperatore's bravery and sacrifice.
Trump emphasized the selfless act of laying down one's life for others, highlighting the spirit that has historically defined America during challenging times. He expressed his belief that such acts of love and sacrifice are essential for America to achieve greatness once again.
The crowd responded to Trump's tribute by chanting 'Corey,' demonstrating their respect and admiration for the fallen hero. Trump further honored Comperatore by approaching a firefighter uniform, symbolizing Comperatore's profession, and kissing the protective helmet as a sign of reverence.
Describing Comperatore as a 'fine man,' Trump recounted how Comperatore courageously shielded his family from harm during the tragic incident. Trump also mentioned that a significant amount of money, totaling $6.3 million, had been raised over the past few days to support the families of the victims.
