U.S. Congressmen Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) have introduced a resolution in the House of Representatives to honor former fire department chief Corey Comperatore, who was killed while shielding his family during the attempted assassination of President Donald J. Trump. The resolution also condemns any form of political violence.

“Corey Comperatore should not have lost his life exercising his First Amendment right by going to a political rally. There is no place for political violence in America! Corey’s selfless and courageous actions exemplify the highest standards of bravery and devotion to both his family and his country. This resolution seeks to commemorate his extraordinary bravery and unwavering commitment to public service after he heroically sacrificed his life while shielding his family from gunfire intended for President Trump,” said Congressman Gaetz.

“Corey Comperatore led his life keeping his community safe and spent the last moments of his life shielding his family from danger. No matter what side of the aisle you’re on, those are the brave qualities we should all salute. He deserved the ability to go to a political rally and return home. I hope that my colleagues will join us in honoring his sacrifice,” said Congressman Moskowitz.
