Former President Donald Trump paid tribute to Corey Comperatore, the hero firefighter who tragically lost his life during the recent assassination attempt targeting Trump at his rally.

However, the heartfelt gesture was accompanied by an interesting twist – a misspelling of Corey’s last name on his turnout coat.

As Trump made his first public appearance since the shooting incident, he honored Corey, who sacrificed himself to protect his family from the gunfire. Displayed alongside Trump was Corey’s firefighter gear, complete with his helmet and jacket bearing his last name. However, there was a noticeable error in the spelling – “Compertore” instead of “Comperatore.”

Predictably, the misspelling sparked a wave of criticism online, with liberals seizing the opportunity to take jabs at the RNC for the supposed blunder.

CBS News dug deeper into the issue and confirmed with the Buffalo Township Volunteer Fire Company that the jacket, with the misspelled name, was indeed Corey’s authentic gear. The fire company had made the conscious decision to omit the letter “a” due to space constraints while printing his name on the jacket.

This revelation debunked the claims of the critics and absolved Trump’s campaign and the GOP from any wrongdoing in the tribute mishap. The misspelling was not a Republican faux pas but a genuine homage to a courageous man who met a heroic end in Butler, Pennsylvania.
