These people noticed something funny about the White House fence jumper's garb [photos]

Why do those two things go together?

@SebOrSam that’s better than the Pokémon master that White House security just tackled.

The one thing Homeland Security didn't see coming today was the Pokeman threat.

Yes. That happened. As Twitchy reported, the White House is on lockdown after a man jumped the fence. A scary situation on the anniversary of 9/11. Thankfully, Secret Service swiftly took him down and apprehended him.

But people couldn’t help noticing something a little peculiar.

The White House fence jumper got farther up the north lawn than many, and did it wearing a Pokemon hat.

A conspiracy in the making?

New Pokemon game coming up next month and a guy in Pokemon merch runs onto the White House lawn? Hm…
