WATCH: Trump Stops Mid-Speech To Honor Firefighter Who Lost His Life At PA Rally

During his RNC speech on Thursday night, President Trump gave a touching tribute to Corey Comperatore, the former fire chief who tragically lost his life at the Butler, Pennsylvania rally. Trump walked over to a firefighters wardrobe that was stood up in honor of Comperatore, and put his arms on it’s shoulders. He then asked the crowd to join him in a moment of silence.

Former Fire Chief Corey Comperatore was with his family at Trump’s rally in nearby Butler on Saturday when deranged sniper Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire, grazing the former president, wounding two others — and killing Comperatore.
