A video clip captured Michael Glantz, a senior talent agent with the Creative Artists Agency, leisurely forking leaves from his burrata salad into his mouth against a backdrop of a stage just yards away, by then empty of everyone save a rifle-wielding officer in tactical combat gear.
“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. There are hundreds of Secret Service agents hurtling themselves over tables and chairs, and I wanted to watch.”
By Monday, the hashtag #saladman was trending on social media as Glantz’s coolness under pressure was recognized by a wider audience. “My man,” the author of the original video post, reposted by CNN’s chief media analyst, Brian Stelter, wrote.
Glantz told the New York Times he was asked why he had not sunk to the floor, as everyone else at his table and most others in the ballroom had done.
“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. There was no freaking way I was getting in my new tux on the dirty Hilton floor. It was not happening.”
