Viral 'Salad Man' explains why he didn't duck for cover during Trump assassination attempt

from Knewz · host Mystify Entertainment Network

 Michael Glantz, a Creative Artists Agency (CAA) "super-agent" who went viral for calmly eating a salad during the shooting scare at the White House Correspondents' Assocation dinner, says his reaction came down to a mix of temperament and practicality. In an interview with The New York Times, Glantz said he "wasn't scared" and was more interested in observing the scene. CNN's Kasie Hunt, who said she was among those taking cover, joked that she was "not calmly eating burrata salad," adding, "I guess, hats off to Michael."Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
