PROTESTS: [Reporter: “Mr. President, can you tell us more about this plot that you were referring to on Fox News last night?”]
“The which?”
[Reporter: “This plot of people gathering on a plane in gear that you were referring to.”]
“Yeah, I can tell you that — I can probably refer you to the person, and they could do it. I’d like to ask that person if it was okay. But a person was on a plane, said that there were about six people like that person, more or less. And what happened is the entire plane filled up with the looters, the anarchists, the rioters — people that obviously were looking for trouble. And the person felt very uncomfortable on the plane. This would be a person you know. So I will see whether or not I can get that person. I’ll let them know, and I’ll see whether or not I can get that person to speak to you.
But this was a firsthand account of a plane going from Washington to wherever. And I’ll see if I can get that information for you. Maybe they’ll speak to you and maybe they won’t.”
