Unconfirmed....

Seriously, learn how to read for comprehension.

Also, IF he IS ANTIFA, how do you account for the violent actions of 100's of other confirmed RW assholes now arrested and facing charges, already charged?

Sullivan has been named one of the most prominent figures charged in the Capitol riots for interviews with media outlets like CNN and lively discussions about whether he is an Antifa provocateur.

Former President Donald Trump’s former lawyer Rudy Giuliani and others pointed to Sullivan as evidence that the left was part of a mob that raided the Capitol. Liberal activists have accused these claims of disinformation.

Sullivan’s politics remains uncertain. He describes himself as an opponent of Trump and a supporter of Black Lives Matter. However, Utah BLM activists denied him, saying he seemed to intend to induce violence in protests.

Highly unlikely - Facebook posts wrongly claim left-wing activist, antifa ‘incited’ US Capitol mob

If Your Time is short

* 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.

UPDATE, Jan. 15, 2021: Following the publication of this fact-check, John Sullivan was arrested Jan. 14 in Utah, the U.S. Justice Department announced. He was charged in a criminal complaint with one felony count of interfering with law enforcement in connection with a civil disorder, as well as misdemeanor charges of unlawful entry and disorderly conduct.

An affidavit from an FBI agent that was filed in support of the criminal complaint and arrest warrant noted that despite Sullivan’s claims that he was present as a journalist, he has no press credentials and is not affiliated with any journalistic organization. The affidavit does not say Sullivan led the mob.


Social media users and allies of President Donald Trump have continued pushing the baseless claim that it was antifa activists, not Trump supporters, who mobbed the U.S. Capitol.

There’s no evidence .. https://www.politifact.com/article/2021/jan/07/theres-no-proof-antifa-stormed-capitol-rumor-sprea/ .. that the crowd was infiltrated or led by antifa activists in disguise, and specific individuals held up online as antifa activists have turned out to be Trump supporters. One man accused of being .. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2021/jan/07/facebook-posts/face-painted-man-horned-fur-cap-capitol-riot-suppo/ .. an "antifa thug," for example, is actually a supporter of the QAnon conspiracy theory. Another man .. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2021/jan/07/shannon-grove/high-ranking-california-republican-lawmaker-pushes/ .. labeled as an antifa activist is really a known neo-Nazi.

Do you notice that all the ones attacking us/Trump are so concerned about the USA they never bring up anything negative about joebama. One must not break the first rule of the CON
