As law enforcement took over the White House Correspondents Dinner Saturday following a shooting and assassination attempt of President Trump, one attendee, cool as a cucumber, refused to dive under the table and calmly continued to eat his salad.
Michael Glantz, an agent with the Creative Artists Agency, says he felt safe as he watched the tense aftermath of the incident. His main concern was his client, Wolf Blitzer, reports Not the Bee.

Said Glantz later: ‘It didn’t scare me at all. I didn’t want to miss the show. I’m a hygiene freak. There’s no way I’m putting my tux on that dirty floor.”
Here’s Glantz talking about his reasoning:
This dude continued to eat his salad as everyone at the WHCD got under the tables! Here’s his reasoning!

Noted one wag on X: “So he’d rather have his brains soil his tux?”
Others, who’ve bought into the “it was staged” conspiracy, figure Glantz was in on the “show” so therefore had no reason to worry.
