John Sullivan, a noted leftist leader from Utah, stormed the US Capitol with fellow activists on Wednesday.
The mainstream media and the fact-checkers tried to protect him and claimed that he was there only to film the whole situation.
Even far-left PolitiFact reviewed Sullivan’s video of the mob into the Capitol and Babbitt’s shooting. They say that it doesn’t show Sullivan clearly engaged in the violence or leading the run-up to the Capitol, although it does show him animated as he spoke with police and rioters from the frontlines.
At points in the video, Sullivan can be heard telling others he was only filming and discouraging violence. At other points, he appeared to encourage what was happening. As rioters scaled a wall outside, for example, he cheered them on. “We did this s—, together,” he said after the barricades came down. “This is f—— history. We’re all a part of this f—— history.”
But Desert News who made an interview with Sullivan claim that some of the 40-minute video he posted to his social media sites contradicts his assertion that he and another woman were “only filming” the actions and not participating as he can be heard in the video encouraging people to join them as they push their way through police barricades.
Just after people broke into the building, Sullivan — wearing a gas mask and wielding an iPhone on a stabilizing stick — and a woman who said Wednesday that she was making a documentary on Sullivan, are on the first porch area outside the entrance looking back over the throngs of people around the Capitol. They can be heard encouraging people to climb the wall, saying, “Come on. Let’s go!”
On Friday, Sullivan insisted that he didn’t encourage violence or vandalism.
When asked about some of the things he said during the 40-minute video, he said, “When you’re in a massive crowd like that, you have to blend in.”
The riot was not an impromptu act, Sullivan said.
Now the same guy who said that he was there as a journalist and is not calling for violence, now calls for an armed march on the UTAH State Capitol on January 23rd.

John Sullivan organized some Antifa/Black Lives Matter riots don’t mention or calls for a march for Black liberation, or Black lives, or anything to do with BLM.
Sullivan was also reportedly banned from the Portland and DC scenes for inciting incidents that led to mass arrests.
As a reminder in August John Sullivan threatened to “rip President Trump from the White House” during violence in Washington DC. Sullivan was flown to DC for the protests.
He Belongs in Prison, he acted out just like everyone else and encouraged the lawlessness, others have already been Arrested Just for Being There. ARREST HIM
Because he is a mouthy little black dude, so he is safe.
I’m hearing he was arrested on federal charges this afternoon .
Because he could be Barrys Son
He will incite violence in another state and use a firearm. They will blame Trump and try to change gun laws in that state. Others leftists will do the same in other states. They are making it so Trump supporters stay at home in fear.
"I’m hearing he was arrested on federal charges this afternoon ."
He is going to have a whole lot of company in prison along with the rest of his cohorts.
That’s where I heard it .
He was just arrested.
A Mormon with one “m” missing.

14 Jan: WaPo: Capitol riot arrests: Retired firefighter accused of throwing fire extinguisher at police; man carrying Confederate
By Spencer S. Hsu, Rachel Weiner and Ann E. Marimow
Two men accused of attacking police officers during last week’s riot at the U.S. Capitol were arrested Thursday, along with a man photographed carrying a Confederate flag, and a Utah man who allegedly recorded the shooting death of one rioter.
John Earle Sullivan, 26, of Utah, was charged after allegedly entering the building and recording when Ashli Babbitt was shot by an officer while she attempted to climb through an opening outside of the Speaker’s Lobby. In a video he posted online and gave the FBI, Sullivan could be narrating the riot, saying “There are so many people. Let’s go. This [expletive] is ours! [Expletive] yeah,” and “Let’s burn this [expletive] down!” according to charging papers...

“Because he is a mouthy little black dude, so he is safe.”
I knew this guy personally in 2017-18. He in not a little dude by any means. He was about 6’1” tall and a super-conditioned athlete. However, he is also a narcissistic, sociopathic asshole.
My son, who was John’s roommate for about a year, actually wrote an essay for his college application to U.Penn about what a horrible human being he was. I didn’t think this was a good idea (not likely to get him accepted), but he insisted that his one year with John was a valid “learning experience” to write about. My son didn’t get accepted, but the fact remains that John Sullivan is a horrible human being.
