CNN and the mainstream media have been breathlessly reporting on every single person who is arrested, banned from flying, questioned, related to someone who was questioned in relation to the Capitol riot on January 6th. But we’ll see if they report equally as excitedly about THIS one. [update: oh you’re gonna LOVE this. See end of post]
John Earl Sullivan is an activist and agitator from BLM protests and riots around the country but specifically well known in Utah for it, and he has just been ARRESTED.
KUTV’s Heidi Hatch has been all over this from the day of the riot.

And YES, as a matter of fact, he WAS dressed up like a Trump supporter and deliberately trying to provoke and engage in violence and destruction so that Trump supporters would be blamed. He’s caught. He’s caught ON camera and by A NEWS STATION and by THE FBI.
The face you make when you know the gig is up!

According to the FBI, anarchist John Sullivan told police officers to stand down in the Speaker's Lobby, then agitated the crowd to attack the doors and windows while he filmed.
Moments later Ashley Babbitt was shot and killed. https://t.co/4dsh8ivgka

It’s almost like that “conspiracy theory” that Antifa and BLM were an important and instigating part of the riot was true, ain’t it?
UPDATE: Remember how I said we’ll see if CNN reports on this guy? They better hope they do. They did once before, after all.
