"Boomers Are Built Different": The Internet Is Obsessed With This Man's Reaction To The WHCD Shooting

Posted 2 hours ago

The pictures coming from Saturday's White House Correspondents' dinner shooting last night are pretty jarring and intense.

Most people in the ballroom reacted by running for cover.

Other people hit the floor.

But one person is going viral for doing the exact opposite:

While chaos broke out and people dove for cover, this man stayed LOCKED IN on his meal.

The video is going super viral:

It didn't take long for the internet to identify him. CNN's Brian Stelter confirmed the man enjoying his meal is CAA super-agent Michael Glantz.

And, of course, the tweets about it are very good:

1. "This guy loved the bread sticks."

2. "Boomers really are built differently lmao."

3. "'Better to die with mashed potatoes in my mouth than live with only peas.'"

4. "Leave me alone, I'm hungry."

5. "Old people don’t deviate from the schedule. Supper was at 9pm sharp and that soup was double hot!"

6. "This man, does not give, one solitary, single, fuck."

7. "bro won the idgaf war."

8. "'Can I get my dessert to go?'"

9. "[to the people under the table] You gonna finish that? No? Thanks."

10. And lastly: "Old man energy. It's a real thing."

FWIW, GB News host Bev Turner said the man told her he didn't get on the ground because he has a bad back.

Still, that salad must have been delicious!
