A Black Lives Matter-supporting activist already facing several charges for his actions on Jan. 6 is now facing additional counts and allegedly told witnesses that he brought a bullhorn to instigate Trump supporters to attack the Capitol.
Whether or not you've heard Sullivan's name before, you've probably seen the footage he captured of pro-Trump activist Ashli Babbit's shooting death during the Capitol incursion, which he reportedly sold to news networks for tens of thousands of dollars.
While Sullivan styled himself as a journalist on the scene who had entered the Capitol with the sole intention of filming the chaos, an affidavit from when he was initially charged for his involvement in the incursion says he broke a window and encouraged protesters to enter.
The #DOJ filed new charges against reported #BlackLivesMatter activist John Sullivan for his role in the US Capitol breach, saying that Sullivan allegedly told others later that he brought along a megaphone to incite #Riots inside the building.
Is anyone really going to play so dumb as to claim there were no far-left protesters involved in the mayhem on Capitol Hill, given that they knew exactly what they'd be causing if they were?
The Capitol incursion was a rare incident of large-scale violence perpetrated by those on the right, and it came right after a very long, expensive, fiery and downright deadly summer of left-wing violence.
It doesn't take a lot of imagination to realize that people who believe in anarchy and violence might want to inspire enraged Trump supporters to barge into and attack the U.S. Capitol.
