"I'm a New Yorker, Glantz told the New York Times in a brief interview after Donald Trump was bundled to safety amid a scene of chaos and confusion, and the function ultimately cancelled. We live with sirens and activity happening all the time. I wasn't scared."
"First of all, I have a bad back, he said. I couldn't get on the floor, and if I did get on the floor, they'd have to bring in people to get me off the floor. And I'm a hygiene freak."
"Glantz said he thought it was silly how much attention his determination to eat his salad had garnered, but that he did not mind being laughed at."
During the White House correspondents' dinner, Michael Glantz, a senior talent agent, was seen calmly eating his salad despite gunfire and chaos. Secret Service agents responded quickly, and the event was ultimately canceled. Glantz expressed that he was not scared, attributing his calmness to his New York upbringing. He explained his decision to stay seated was due to a bad back and a desire to avoid the dirty floor. His actions led to the trending hashtag #saladman on social media, highlighting his unusual response to the situation.
