On September 19, 2014, Omar Gonzalez jumped over the fence at the White House, ran across the lawn, entered through the North Portico doors, went through a foyer, and into the East Room. He was not invited.
On February 2, 2015, Omar Gonzalez went into the White House and celebrated the LA Galaxy's MLS Cup victory with his teammates. They were all invited, but Omar still had a little fun with the fact that a man who shares his name broke into the White House this fall, causing a national scandal.
BREAKING: Omar Gonzalez will not be tackled by the @CIA as he enters the White House today.

Safe to say Omar won the Galaxy's White House visit. He definitely had a better experience than his predecessor.
