Politifact was also provided all of the video evidence and photos, however, they still labeled the story as “mostly false” and a “conspiracy theory.” Anyone who disagrees with the left has also been labeled as a racist for pointing out the fact that Sullivan was involved.
..
Sullivan is also responsible for dozens of photos that distort the facts of January 6 that have been distributed and used by CNN, ABC, and other mainstream media outlets, but also uploaded to the internet via other activists on Twitter and Facebook.
Yes.

Wonder if CNN will even report this arrest - it is kind of embarrassing for them. Kind of like Avenatti.

Got a link?
Outside? Nice try. See my quote (I am clearly referencing the barricade he is directly up against while Ashli is shot) He is in some of the films showing the shooting (the black guy on the left front and, of course, he shot the clearest film of the shooting.) You do know she was shot (only shot of the day) leaping the barricade I assume?

He's the African American guy with the camera at :30

Yeah, an amateur, but I do hope that he serves some time for the crime.

He was trespassing on federal property he should get charged just like all of the MAGA people.
Trespassing? What legal argument you use to convince a jury of that?

Clearly he was inciting a riot, as well as trying to overthrow the government. Lock him up.

LOL You're makin' that up (and not paying attention). I'll stop at two.

Adam Johnson, 36, of Florida was arrested in the state Friday and booked into the Pinellas County Jail just days after he was allegedly caught on camera carrying the House speaker's lectern, according to the release. He has been charged with one count of knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority; one count of theft of government property; and one count of violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.

An Arizona man seen in photos and video of the mob wearing a costume with a painted face and a fur hat topped by horns was also taken into custody Saturday. Jacob Anthony Chansley, more commonly known as Jake Angeli, had become a staple in his costume at pro-Trump protests across the country. He is charged with knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, and violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.

Talk about lumping everyone into the same crowd. So, white person at the Capitol belongs to the KKK and the Neo Nazis. See what I did there?

From the SAME article.

Sullivan is the founder of Insurgence USA, an activist group formed after the killing of George Floyd in the summer of 2020.
NOT BLM, and NOT Antifa. But of course if you're a black activist you automatically speak for BLM and Antifa.

BLM was founded after Travon Martin's death almost a decade ago.

Now, if you don't believe the source posted was correct, why did the OP post the source?

Someone was yelling at the people to breakdown the door. Don't know if it was him or someone else who was letting others charge the door.

He's the head of a BLM chapter in Utah.
I don't think he was there to help Trump stay in office

https://www.fox13now.com/news/local-...-capitol-riots
Sullivan, 26, was charged with Rioting and Criminal Mischief for his participation in the deadly riots.

The arrest document states Sullivan can be seen inside the Capitol building using a microphone as he told the crowd “we about to burn this s___ down,” “we got to rip Trump out of office... f_______ pull him out of that ****... we ain’t waiting until the next election... we about to go get that m__________.”
..
In June, Sullivan was arrested for organizing a protest in Provo where a person was shot.
In his case it was considered a "peaceful protest".

Politifact, if they have reviewed 20,000 items, probably has about 19,900 lies.

There are one of the worst of the "fact checkers" (or is it fact inventors?).
