One year after the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at the Butler, Pennsylvania rally, the impact of the event continues to be felt deeply by those affected, including Helen Comperatore and her daughter Allyson. The new Fox Nation documentary ‘Butler: Under Fire,’ now streaming, provides a poignant look into their grief and the lasting consequences of the tragedy. Corey Comperatore, a volunteer firefighter and devout Christian, was killed in the attack, leaving his family to navigate the unimaginable loss.
The episode details how Helen continues to live with the pain of losing her husband, keeping his memorials everywhere in their home and carrying his driver’s license in her wallet. Allyson shares her experience of finding her father after the shooting, describing the shock and helplessness she felt as she saw him lying injured. The documentary includes heart-wrenching accounts from the family, alongside interviews with first responders and discussions about the security failures that allowed the attack to occur.
Helen expresses her frustration with the Secret Service’s decision to allow Trump to appear on stage despite the threat, believing that this oversight may have contributed to the attack. The series also highlights the emotional toll on the first responders, who met with the family to provide support and address their concerns. Additionally, the documentary features new footage and insights from the Secret Service, as well as Trump’s own reflections on the dangers he faced.
The documentary serves as both a tribute to the victims of the attack and a call for greater security measures to prevent future incidents. As the family continues to process their loss, their story underscores the human cost of political events and the need for accountability and improved safety protocols.
Meanwhile, the documentary is part of a broader collection of Trump-related content on Fox Nation, including other specials that explore his policies and actions. The series aims to provide a comprehensive look at the events of the rally and their aftermath.
