John Sullivan, a Antifa-BLM organizer, received a six-year prison sentence on Friday for his actions during the events at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.
Sullivan, known as a leader of Antifa-Insurgence, was arrested in Utah following the riots at the Capitol, the Gateway Pundit reports.
The outlet also reported at the time that Sullivan was captured on video pretending to be a Trump supporter during the unrest.
He notably made headlines around the 2020 election after he called on BLM to “rip Trump from the White House!”
Court documents show that Sullivan joined rioters to hurl expletives, including “we’re about to burn this s–t down!,” “we’re f–king s–t up” and “I’m gonna make these Trump supporters f–k all this s–t up.”
The Gateway Pundit obtained footage from Sullivan’s Discord server that depicts the militant activist inside the capitol on January 6th while damaging federal property.
Sullivan, despite multiple claims of only attending the protests to document events and not to actively participate in the insurgency, organized an Antifa-Insurgence rally on January 6th.
The event preceded the storming of the Capitol, and took place at the Washington Monument at 11 AM. These facts are allegedly omitted by the mainstream media, the outlet reports.
The Gateway Pundit’s Jim Holt highlighted reporting from Axios that “conveniently ignores” all the facts surrounding Sullivan’s involvement in January 6th.
Resist The Mainstream reported earlier this year on other arrests related to January 6th the DOJ has pursued, including the conviction of a “praying grandma” who walked into the Capitol.
The grandmother was convicted by a DC jury last month, prompting many prominent figures including Elon Musk to express their frustrations, with some calling for a “presidential pardon.”
The DC jury deliberated for nearly 26 hours before delivering the guilty verdict. The defendant, 71-year-old Rebecca Lavrenz, is the owner of a bed and breakfast in Colorado Springs. Musk called the decision “not right” in a response on X.
The grandmother could face up to a year in prison and fines exceeding $200,000.
Former president Donald Trump also sparked backlash over the story.
“Rebecca Lavrez, also known as the ‘J6 Praying Grandma,’ has been unfairly targeted by Crooked Joe Biden’s DOJ, and now faces up to 1 YEAR in prison for peacefully walking around the Capitol, and praying for our Failing Nation on January 6th!” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.
“Rebecca is a 72-year-old Grandmother and Small Business Owner from Colorado, and now she is one of Joe Biden’s J6 HOSTAGES!!! Crooked Joe Biden spends more time prosecuting Patriots like Rebecca, AND ME, than Violent Criminals, Thugs, Murderers, and ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS who are destroying our Country. THIS IS WHAT WE ARE UP AGAINST. MAGA2024!” Trump added.
