The footage that I saw most replayed after Saturday’s shooting at the White House correspondents’ dinner was what you would expect in terms of newsworthiness and importance: the president and vice president — the top officials of our country — hustled from their tables by Secret Service after the news of an armed intruder in the Washington Hilton reached the downstairs ballroom. An agent grabbed JD Vance first, smoothly and by the shoulders. Donald Trump’s evacuation took a few seconds longer, but eventually he, too, was ushered offstage.
