"He had canvassed for Hillary Clinton, and he had donated to her campaign," Conway said on CNN's "State of the Union." "So, this is a Democratic plant or operative trying to disrupt our rally. And I think that people saw a nimble, resilient Donald Trump, who would be nimble and resilient as president as well, take back to the stage, Dan Scavino telling people, we're not going to be stopped.

Saturday night wasn't the first time the Trump team quickly embraced a theory about a rally disruption that just as quickly fell apart. This spring, Trump claimed his staff had linked a man who tried to rush the stage at one of his events to the Islamic State: "They found his name, and it was probably ISIS or ISIS-related. Do you believe it?" he said at a later campaign event. He also made the claim on Twitter.
