On June 29, 2020, Sullivan led his first protest event, in Provo, Utah. BLM leader Lex Scott recalled: “His very first protest he held was the one someone got shot”.
An activist from Portland warned people not to trust him, after he managed to get local activists arrested in September 2020 by leading them down a wrong route and into a police kettle; Sullivan was widely-suspected of being a double agent working for law enforcement.
On November 26, 2020, Seattle activists published a memo accusing John Sullivan of being an agent provocateur seeking to undermine the Black Lives Matter movement
On December 12, Pro- and Anti-Trump activists traveled to Washington DC. Brawls broke out; four people were stabbed. That day, John Sullivan was escorted from an event at Black Lives Matter Plaza in Washington after he was identified by activists aware of the accusations against him. That same day, James Sullivan was similarly evicted from a Pro-Trump event in Washington.
John Sullivan participated in the storming of the United States Capitol. He wore a ballistic vest and gas mask, entering the building through a broken window. Sullivan took extensive video, including video of the shooting of Ashli Babbitt. Sullivan could be heard saying “Dude, this shit’s gonna go viral” after Babbitt’s death.
Sullivan’s own recording is a described as a first-person documentary film he released on YouTube under the title Shooting and Storming of the US Capitol in Washington DC. J. Hoberman, a film critic writing in Artforum, reviewed Sullivan’s film, describing it as “cinema as forensic evidence” and comparing it to the Zapruder film of the Kennedy assassination, while also characterizing it as a “gonzo reportage”. Parts of the footage were used in the second impeachment trial of Donald Trump. CNN, NBC News, Australian Broadcasting Corporation and The Washington Post were among the media outlets that paid Sullivan for his video.
When entering the capitol, Sullivan was accompanied by Jade Sacker, a Los Angeles-based independent documentary filmmaker,[better source needed] who was filming John Sullivan as part of a documentary on him and his brother, James.
