John Sullivan is clearly Antifa or BLM, has previously been arrested as such, and was inside the Capitol.
Not that I expect you to pay attention to facts, mind.
I spent a little time chasing this down. Sullivan was clearly at the capitol. He apparently provided video to the Seattle Times. A fact checking organization published the following...
Politifact Wrote:John Sullivan, an activist from Utah, joined supporters of President Donald Trump who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. He said he was trying to document what happened.
There’s no evidence that Sullivan “incited (the) insurgence” alone amid a crowd of thousands. Video he uploaded online shows his perspective as he filmed.
Sullivan denied any affiliation to the broad antifa coalition, although he has posted related hashtags on his Twitter accounts. There remains no legitimate evidence that the mob at the Capitol was infiltrated or led by antifa activists in disguise.
As far as I can tell the rumor that he was a leader and antifa came from internet right wing web sites and have no real evidence backing them. Your "clearly" does not go with this. You might provide references?
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
