蘇利文是自稱反法西斯主義和抗議警察暴力的組織「美國叛亂」（Insurgence USA）的創始人，[6]這是一個在2020年夏天喬治·佛洛伊德之死事件後成立的政治活動組織。[7]許多媒體因此稱他與antifa有關聯，但聯邦政府隨後說他與antifa無關[8]。
蘇利文早年被一個維吉尼亞州的摩爾門教保守家庭收養，並在其中長大[9][3][10]，他的養父是美國陸軍中校。[9][3]他們一家隨後移居到了猶他州[11]。
蘇利文有一個同為領養的兄弟，詹姆斯·蘇利文（James Sullivan）。詹姆斯·蘇利文是一個名為「文明覺醒」（Civilized Awakening）的右翼組織的創始人[10][12]，詹姆斯曾在一次訪談中稱，約翰「直到最近」都是一個保守派。[3]
2020年6月29日，由機動車輛組成的「支持警察」（Back the Blue）示威活動在猶他州普若佛市警察局周圍舉行。蘇利文等人組織了反抗議活動，封鎖車輛。在抗議活動中，有人向一輛車開槍，一名司機受傷。一名叫傑西·塔格特（Jesse Taggart）的男子被控謀殺未遂。[13][14]蘇利文因抗議被捕。[15]據警方證詞，蘇利文在抗議期間損壞了車輛，並與他創立的反對警察暴力的反法西斯活動組織「美國叛亂」合作，招募抗議者進行抗議。[7][15][16]
2020年7月22日，蘇利文攜帶AR-15半自動步槍在猶他州議會大廈舉行了單人武裝抗議活動。他遭到猶他州公民警報組織（Utah Citizens' Alarm）的20名武裝人員的反抗議。抗議活動持續了數小時。[17][18]
2021年1月6日，在2021年衝擊美國國會大廈事件期間，蘇利文進入了國會大廈並拍攝了大量視頻，包括阿什利·巴比特（Ashli Babbit）的死亡視頻。[19][20][21]蘇利文後來向警方和FBI探員講述了槍擊事件。[22]他隨後在媒體的採訪中回應稱：「我覺得她（阿什利·巴比特）不應該死。她沒有武器。她什麼都沒有。」[23]
1月13日，蘇利文因「在處于禁區，民事騷亂和暴力進入或擾亂秩序的行為」被聯邦起訴。[24]FBI的一份證詞對他是攝影記者的說法提出了異議，因為他沒有記者證件。[25][26]
因為他在Facebook上使用過「#BLM」和「#Antifa」標籤，蘇利文成為了右翼陰謀論稱為反法西斯主義運動是國會大廈騷亂的幕後黑手的對象。雖然他聲稱自己是以攝影記者的身分到場，但他拍攝到自己在進入大樓前曾大喊「讓我們把這狗屎燒掉」（let's burn this shit down）。他說這是為了「混入」騷亂的人群中。[22]
雖然蘇利文反對唐納德·川普，但他在2020年美國總統選舉結果的問題上認同了川普支持者的觀點，相信該結果是偽造的。1月26日，蘇利文與信息大戰網站作戰室節目主持人歐文·施羅耶（Owen Shroyer）共同討論「左派和右派如何統一起來，擊敗全球主義者的議程」。在節目中，蘇利文認為喬·拜登在2020年美國總統選舉中的獲勝是可疑的。他提到，「你看不到有人打著拜登2020的旗幟舉行拜登集會，但是你卻會看到很多川普集會和川普2020集會。這就說明了一切。」「我是否認為可能存在某種錯誤計數或操縱？是的，我認為這是存在的。」[27]
