Left-Wing ‘Known Agitator’ Charged For Alleged Role In Capitol Breach

A left-wing “known agitator” from Utah was charged Thursday for his alleged participation in the breach of the U.S. Capitol last week.

John Earle Sullivan has been charged with entering a restricted building or grounds, “civil disorders,” and violent entry or disorderly conduct, reported KUTV 2 News.

The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Chuck Ross noted that Sullivan appeared on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360” following the breach, claiming he witnessed the fatal shooting of protester Ashli Babbitt by a Capitol Police officer. He also appeared alongside MSNBC’s Chris Hayes, Ross noted.

“Left wing activist John Sullivan charged in Capitol riots. He was filming as Ashli [Babbitt] was shot in the Capitol. Was interviewed by Chris Hayes and Anderson Cooper,” Ross posted to Twitter on Thursday evening.

Sullivan apparently cheered on the breach and subsequent destruction, according to an affidavit of probable cause. KUTV 2 News quoted the affidavit, in part, as follows:

After the crowd broke through the last barricade, and as SULLIVAN and the others approach the Capitol Building, SULLIVAN can be heard in the video saying at various points: ‘There are so many people. Let’s go. This s— is ours! F— yeah,’ ‘We accomplished this s—. We did this together. F— yeah! We are all a part of this history,’ and ‘Let’s burn this s— down.'”

As highlighted by Ross, Sullivan also allegedly stated, “We gotta get this s*** burned.”

According to left-wing fact-checking site Politifact, Sullivan is the founder of Insurgence USA, “an activist group against police brutality.”

“Sullivan has not been shy about his presence at the Capitol riot,” Politifact noted. “He filmed the events as they happened, and he was nearby when Capitol police fatally shot a woman inside the building. He described the shooting during an interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper that night.”“Sullivan confirmed to PolitiFact that he entered the building with the rioters, and that he is in the photographs shown as part of the Facebook post,” the report added.

KUTV 2 News reporter Heidi Hatch highlighted Sullivan’s left-wing and expressly anti-Trump activism, on Thursday.

“John Sullivan in DC in December- post from Instagram. He’s behind in the Tooele County Jail in Utah. His first court appearance 1/15 Friday,” she tweeted, captioning an Instagram video allegedly posted by Sullivan.

The video is captioned: “We got to rip that MF (motherf***er) out of office,” an apparent reference to Trump. The caption adds the hashtags, “#F***Trump,” “#BLM,” “Antifa,” and “TrumpMeltdown.”

The man in the video says, “We gotta f***ing rip Trump out of that office, right over there. F***ing pull him out that s***. We ain’t about wait ’till the next election. We about to go get that motherf***er.”

“The Department of Justice website shows Sullivan is scheduled to appear in court in Utah on Friday at 4 p.m.,” noted KUTV 2 News.



I did a quick google and did not see where any of the left wing media was reporting this. Surely, there is not a double standard being applied.

Of course there is no left-wing media reporting on this, they have invested so much in the narrative that the "insurgents" were all Trump supporters.

he should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, just as all the other 100-200 rioters who have been arrested and/or identified so far...

the man hunt continues and there will be many more people arrested with more serious sedition charges filed...guessing the vast majority will be far right white supremacists, at least that's who the investigators say they are zeroing in on,,,the peeps who organized, financed, coordinated and led the assault...

Sullivan's true nature is in question:

Left-wing activist seen at Capitol wore gas mask, said he had knife during riot: feds

The self-described left-wing activist recently arrested for allegedly taking part in the storming of the U.S. Capitol -- later claiming he was there to "document" it -- allegedly wore a gas mask and had a knife at the time of the siege, court papers show.

John "Jayden X" Sullivan is due to appear in court at 4 p.m. local time Friday in connection with charges for civil disorder, violent entry or disorderly conduct and entering a restricted building or grounds.

The 26-year-old self-described journalist and activist was arrested Thursday and has been in the custody of Toeele County, Utah, authorities, officials previously said. Sources told Fox News Sullivan is not known to be affiliated with Antifa.

In addition to the ballistic vest Sullivan was previously reported to have worn while inside the Capitol, court papers show he also wore a gas mask and claimed to have had a knife.

Sullivan, who filmed his time in the federal building -- including the fatal shooting of California Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt -- later shared the footage with authorities.

In one clip, Sullivan can be heard saying: "Hey guys, I have a knife. I have a knife. Let me up," court documents state.

In one video, Sullivan can allegedly be heard cheering on the crowd as they broke through the final barricade before the Capitol and saying: "We did this together. ... We are all a part of history."

In at least two encounters, Sullivan can be heard on video telling officers to stand down so they don’t get hurt and saying "the people have spoken," according to an affidavit.
Sullivan, who founded activist group Insurgence USA, told Rolling Stone he was acting in such a way because he "had to relate to these people."

He continued: "And build trust in the short amount of time I had there to get where I need to go … to the front of the crowd to see the dynamic between the police and the protesters, because nobody wants to see the backs of people’s heads from a far-off distance."

He told Fox News was at the Capitol siege to "document" the events, and said he frequently attends and films protests.

"As far as being able to understand who is in the crowd, based on being around protests a lot … I didn’t see any people who were originally at BLM protests," he told Fox News at the time.

He could not be reached for comment following his arrest.

Sullivan was also charged with rioting and criminal mischief on July 13 following a June protest in Provo that resulted in an SUV driver being shot while driving through the two opposing groups.

The case is still pending.

Yea the left stormed the capital to stop the peaceful transfer of power to the left. That’s pretty well established.

The black flag crap is so cute it’s stupid cute.

no one who despises what happened should feel pressured to make it look like the other side is really to blame, or has done even worse, nor need to resort to "whatabout them" worthless comparisons trying to minimize culpability.

What happened happened. We know who the rioters supported. In the past and in the future it will be the other side. And our side again. And so on...

But this is now, and it's a really bad one...not limited to property damage.
That's just the way it is this go-round.

Sometimes our sides gets hijacked by violent actors. If you share their visions but despise their methods, say that.
But accept that your side is not pure nor exclusively approved by a higher authority.

we should be troubled though, as the people who have been arrested and identified...our future as a united nation is not looking bright...

many are apparently average working class citizens who do not have any history of extreme or alt-right political views...they have traditional day jobs who have become radicalized and motivated to travel from all parts of the US, go to DC, attack cops, break into the secure Congressional building, try to kill members of Congress and the VP and ransack and occupy the place...to keep Dear Leader in office...


maybe we are capable of producing a cult-like figure in national leadership...Trump is the "chosen one", able to cast a spell over millions of people, like other charismatic tyrants in world history...a larger than life Rev Jim Jones...guess it could happen here...

remember that Cabinet meeting near the beginning of his term, where each and every one of them... full grown and accomplished people in their own right, looking like they were under a spell, chanting about being thankful for Trump's power and might, swearing fealty, like subservients...that was an early warning sign

I think the term you’re looking for is peasants. Call them deplorable, racist, and misogynist long enough and they can flip out a bit. They need to be kept fat, drunk, and stupid.

Maybe we are capable of producing a cult-like figure in national leadership. Did you see how many votes Biden got! Most ever and dude has charisma.

I was wondering how long it would be before the usual republican con job of finding one person they could blame everything on from a group they don't like. I guess they couldn't find anybody from antifa.

It's unthinkable that ninja garbed ANTIFA commies would miss an opportunity for a party?
