BLM Activist Who Entered The Capitol Building Shouted 'It's Our House' & 'We Got To Get This Shit Burned'

A left-wing activist who told CNN he went inside the Capitol Building during last Wednesday's siege merely to document the chaos has now been arrested by police.

According to the Department of Justice, John Earle Sullivan, 26, was not simply a passive observer inside the Capitol, after video emerged purportedly showing him encouraging the rioters.

Sullivan was charged Thursday with one count of knowingly entering a restricted building, one count of violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds, and one count of interfering with law enforcement.

According to a release by the DOJ, Sullivan, 'wearing a ballistics vest and gas mask, entered the U.S. Capitol through a window that had been broken out, pushing past U.S. Capitol Police once inside'.

He filmed multiple videos of the event, before posting them to YouTube under his username 'Jayden X'.

In one of the clips, he is seemingly heard encouraging other rioters as they enter the building.


'We got to get this s**t burned,' he purportedly states, before adding: 'It's our house motherf*****.'

Elsewhere in his recorded clips he says to rioters: 'You guys are f**king savage. Let's go!'

'This s**t is ours! F**k yeah. I can't believe this is reality.'


The DOJ further alleges he told rioters: 'We accomplished this s**t... We are all a part of this history.'

However, Sullivan painted a far different picture of his time inside the Capitol when he spoke with Anderson Cooper on CNN last week.

He appeared on the cable network alongside a documentary filmmaker, with the pair portrayed as passively watching the chaos unfold.

He should retain Michael Avenatti as his defense attorney. I think Avenatti needs the work.

A federal judge sentenced the Utah man who filmed the fatal shooting of Ashli Babbitt on Jan. 6, 2021, to six years in prison Friday for instigating the mob against police.

John Earle Sullivan, 29, was convicted in November of five felonies and two misdemeanor charges for obstructing the joint session of Congress, civil disorder and carrying a knife into the U.S. Capitol.

Sullivan rebranded himself as an activist in 2020 under the online moniker “Jayden X,” gambled at trial that he could convince a jury he e was acting as a citizen journalist who put himself in harm’s way to document a historic moment. Sullivan said he began recording civil unrest in 2020 amid the nationwide protests in the wake of the murder of George Floyd. It was then he incorporated his company, Insurgence USA, in Utah. On Jan. 6, Sullivan was being followed by a photographer, Jade Sacker, who was making a documentary film about the political divisions between Sullivan and his brother, James, who is a right-wing activist.

Sacker’s footage, which was played at trial during her testimony as a defense witness, shows Sullivan wearing a ballistic vest and using a bullhorn to repeatedly call out support for the crowd. At one point he can be heard yelling, “We’re about to burn this s*** down!” At another point, as a group of rioters including several members of the Proud Boys breaks through a police line, Sullivan shouts, “This is our f***ing house!”

Sullivan himself took the stand in his own defense, only to face damning cross-examination from Assistant U.S. Attorney Rebekah Lederer. In a series of questions, Leder dismantled Sullivan’s claims of being a member of the Black Lives Matter movement and a journalist. She noted he’d been run out of the Utah and Portland activists communities and quoted a November 2020 message to the Seattle protest community warning others about his “grifting/profiteering, self-promotion/clout chasing, sabotage of community actions” and his brother’s ties to the Proud Boys.
On Friday, U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth repeatedly rebuked Sullivan for his attempts to adopt the “protective veneer of a journalist” to hide what he really was on Jan. 6: a “chaos agent,” as Lamberth described him.

“He wanted to exploit others to sow chaos and undermine our system of government,” Lamberth said.

The judge, said Sullivan was unique among other Capitol riot defendants in that he came to D.C. not to support former President Donald Trump but rather to advance his own agendas of personal profit and anti-government agitating.

“For Mr. Sullivan, violence was an end in and of itself,” Lamberth said.

Lamberth sentenced Sullivan to 72 months, or six years, in prison and three years of supervised release. Sullivan was also ordered to pay $2,000 in restitution and will lose approximately $90,000 he made off selling his footage of the riot that was seized following his arrest.
