White House Press Secretary answers questions on evacuation (C-SPAN)

[radic]

Did we ever learn why the cameras were lowered?

[Chrispypullen]

This puzzles me almost as much as the press in that room. I'm also a bit unsettled about the circumstances here.

[MsB]

Sounds to me like someone wanted the press and their cameras out-of-the-way.

[diannal]

All he can say is ask the Secret Service.  Sounds  a little strange.  A bomb threat is called in, The President isn't evacuated and no one else?!  What are they hiding?

[carewser]

Holy fuck the do the white house press corps ever flog a dead horse!

[oicub]

If they have the equipment to clear the room, why didn't they clear the room before the press meeting?
I smell stinky rotten fish
