Wife of dead rally-goer says she hasn’t heard from Trump

CNN reports:

Helen told the Post that President Joe Biden tried to call her, but she declined to speak to him since her husband 'was a devout Republican, and he would not have wanted me to talk to him.'

But she added that she does not hold the current president responsible for what happened to her family.

'I don’t have any ill will towards Joe Biden,' she said. '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 towards Biden.'

Let's see:

Decides who to ignore calls from based on her husband's wishes
Claims to not be involved in politics, yet supports a certain candidate

Yep, that's a garden-variety republican.

The important takeaway here is that Biden made an effort to reach out.

Ok my respect is quickly dropping for these buffoons caught in the crossfire. But it's like interviewing an attendee from a nazi rally, what should I expect? Critical thinking? Morals? Hah!
"devout Republican" haha... They're a religious cult.
- Why would you have any respect for Trump supporters going to a Trump rally? Just because they were unlucky? They're still shitty people.
- Right...because you're so great at critical thinking
People using devout to describe their political views unironically is the scariest thing I've read today.
- devout Republican
  I had the same thought. It's not a sports team and not a religion. But man, some people treat it like that.
One day she'll realize that after her husband was killed, the candidate she supports cared more about his shoes than about him.
- Sadly, she won't realize shit. These people don't have revelations about who they support politically. They bury their heads in the sand eternally. I still know people who are die hard George W Bush supporters and think he was the best president we've ever had.
- I'm glad I'm not the only one repeating this.
  He was more concerned about his shoes than:
  Following simple directions Getting off stage Acknowledging his staff was in danger Getting the fuck away from danger Asking about anyone else being injured Leaving the scene
  You know....NORMAL FUCKING SHIT
  But no, he needed to stand on stage AND at his get away vehicle to throw his fist up like he personally took down the gunmen.
  I cringed watching the SS try to get him to safety and he refused. I was just hoping no one else was going to get shot while he tried to be some kind of "hero".
- Doubtful.
  Why am I getting downvoted?
  People think this lady is smart enough to engage in critical thinking later, despite what we've seen from her?
I think it’s also important to note that we didn’t hear about this from Biden’s camp. They did their job cause it was the right thing to do, not for some publicity stunt.
- You can’t discount the selfish and hateful as stupid as even the most vile people can be cunning. I’d agree that the median conservative would be less intelligent than the median liberal, but that discludes the folks looking to take from others their money, freedom, and time in order to enrich themselves monetarily or psychologically. Not everything can be Hanlon’s razor’d, sometimes people just enjoy sucking.
Not involved in politics, simply supports the same party as her husband without questioning it
Just as the republicans want how women should vote?
Biden is a better man than Trump will ever be even with half his brain turned to jelly
- Which brain is jelly in this equation?
- You deserve an award for the stupidest comment of the day
- Removed, misinformation. Temp banned for multiple offenses.
- So you have time to make up shit about illegal immigrant mass murders but you can't respond to my receipts of the Heritage Foundation call to hatred when you first got on the Lemmy bloc? Lemmy dont forget anything but meme reposts, son. Where's them links on those illegal immigrant murder victims not getting a call from Biden? I want them.
- You're aware that the first illegal immigrants on this land were white, right?
- She's the husband of someone killed who was in the crowd...
- I see where you're coming from, but you got a lot of facts wrong in your comment.
- This was the rallygoer, not the shooter. There were two deaths at that event.

I'll bet Trump hasn't given the guy a second thought. All of Trump's thoughts are about Trump.

I'll bet Trump didn't give him a first thought.
"I really don't care, do u?"

It's almost quaint by this point how she believes this orange turd cares about her.

Maybe he thinks they are a "loser" and a "sucker" because they didn't survive. Wouldn't be the first time he said that about dead Americans.

Sounds on brand.

Why would she? Her husband did his job and helped Trump get more votes. That’s all that sack of shit cates about.

Piece of shit doesn’t contact piece of shit about piece of shit, shot by piece of shit.

Next.

Seriously. She even refused a call from Biden. These people are ignorant fools who can't help themselves.

"Well I got hurt too"

-Trump... probably

More like "get over it" I presume.
"I prefer supporters that don't get shot."
The 'too' is superfluous

Trump supporters are really something else.

And that something else is idiot fucks

Goddamn.
- How does any sane person look at this guy and see anything except a pig?
  If he promised to be to the Left of Bernie I still wouldn't vote for him.
I'm... How did I not know she died? In 2022? What??
From a fall in her home? Oh my goodness.
What am I supposed to be taking away from this? Why is this presented like it's evidence of an argument?
- I posted this three days ago.
  68 upvotes. That means at least 68 people understood what I was saying.
  You are the first person to ask 'what does it mean?'
  So, even as baffled as you are, what was your wildest guess as to why I posted it, and why other people agreed with me.
  If there were no upvotes, I might consider that I'd been too obscure. As it is, I question your understanding more than my position.

It's almost like Trump doesn't give a shit about anyone else.

She won't. He doesn't like anyone from his cult, they're just too dumb to see it.

Apologies for appearing insensitive, but this sentence is hilarious.

"It was going to be a nice day with the family," she continued. "It was a bad day."

We just wanted to see the fat child fucker, but it wasn't as nice as you might think.
the Cuban Missile Crisis was not poggers

Reports are that he went golfing today.

He did just get shot. Maybe once the adrenaline wore off he wasn't in too great of shape. His age and poor health won't be helping him bounce back quickly.
I won't begrudge someone their favorite hobby after getting shot, even if they are an asshole.
- But it means he certainly has time to attend to his fellow victim.

But she'll still Vote for Him because she's NOT in a Cult!

Although her husband was a "devout" republican... uh huh

And she never will, only Donald Trump matters to Donald Trump

He doesn’t give a fuck about her

Why should Trump care? He got all the media attention he needed.

He ?

Why would she? Her loser husband died, what a loser. Trump got shot he didn't die.

Jokes aside, I wish her and her family the best and offer my condolences. No one deserves to lose a loved one like that.

Edit: added an a

And she never will

There's a non-zero chance Trump will call them "losers". Maybe not right now, but sometimes in the future.

And probably won't ever, because Trump doesn't like people who "lose".

Those are suckers and losers in Trump's rotten brain.

I would like to state unequivocally that the wife of the Trump supporter that got shot at the Trump rally is not a crisis actor.

I wouldn't think so but given their history of projection you have to wonder.

Something something leopards something face

No shit. Why would you expect that?

So basically don't stand behind that guy or you're just a disposable human shield 🛡️.

Less of a shield and more of a backstop in this case

He hasn’t heard from her either….(because of the ear)

I'm shocked. SHOCKED!!

I hope she’s not surprised.

Imagine how his family feels..

What are chances that he's called Sleepy Joe in her contacts list?

Y’know, that does put a thought in my head.
How do you know the President is calling? If I saw a caller ID saying anything like that I’m going to assume spam. Unknown DC number, also spam.
Does an aide come to my door and hand me a phone, or warn me that the next call is official?
Otherwise of course I missed the call, guess the President gets to leave a voicemail! And we can play telephone tag with his staff until there’s another moment in his day…?
- You can make the caller ID say whatever you want. It probably says "White House", and, you know, it doesn't take a Biden voter to figure that one out.
- an aide on the other end of the phone will greet you and then advise they are transferring you to speak to the president.
- I'm not entirely sure myself. Some callers are recognized by a carrier and get custom names (at least my does it), so there's probably a way to communicate the president is calling. It won't play the national anthem instead of a ringtone, but that, at least, would make it stand out from random spam callers.

RNC already co-opted his death so they got a martyr out of it anyway.

Oooh. I might prefer ex-president to former President.

I mean, she already has a chance to buy a $50,000 NFT that enters her to win a lunch with a cardboard cutout of trump? Greedy people, man... What else do you want?

Also, "I actually like fascist rally goers that take bullets for me and DON'T die, okay? Let's face it, okay, your dead husband was a loser, ma'am, and he wouldn't like you being such a nasty woman to such a jesus like me, okay? Anyway, I heard you were single now, maybe you need some money to take care of your kids and I have an opportunity the likes of which some are saying they've never seen - they call it "oppty-wopty" for short, okay, some of them do and you know that and I know that... But, I know a TREMENDOUS and quick way for you to make $130,000? Do you like weird shaped/smelling mushrooms? SNIFF"

Raising 3 million for the families is better than a phone call

They're not mutually exclusive.
