BLM activist who told CNN he entered the Capitol simply to document the siege is arrested after video footage reveals he shouted 'it's our house' and 'we got to get this s**t burned'
John Earle Sullivan, 26, entered the Capitol Building during the siege last Wednesday
The left-wing activist, who has previously participated in Black Lives Matter demonstrations, claimed he was simply documenting the event on his phone
He was interviewed by Anderson Cooper on CNN afterward, where it was implied that he was passively observing the situation as it unfolded
However, Sullivan has now been arrested after video footage appeared to show him inciting rioters
He is charged with knowingly entering a restricted building, violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds, and interfering with law enforcement
Sullivan is already facing rioting and criminal mischief charges 'stemming from a Black Lives Matter protest in Utah last year', Rolling Stone reports
