Former FBI Analyst Running for Office as Dem Releases Cringe Campaign Ad Video (WATCH) – Twitchy

A former agent who jumped ship when he found out he’d report to FBI Director Kash Patel is running for office. Former FBI analyst John Sullivan is challenging New York Republican Representative Michael Lawler for New York’s 17th Congressional District. He’s a super partisan Democrat – surprise! He released a campaign ad that many on X thought was a joke.

Have a look. (WATCH)

For 17 years, I served in secret, protecting us from threats like Russia, foreign terrorists and drug cartels, and eventually the insurrectionists who stormed our Capitol.

Now, I’m stepping out of the shadows to run for Congress. pic.twitter.com/CV7XYsR2ix

Republicans in Congress have abdicated their authority and refuse to hold Donald Trump accountable.

So, I’m stepping up to take on Elon Musk’s favorite Congressman: Mike Lawler.

While Mike Lawler is counting on Elon and Trump, I’m counting on you. https://t.co/WYTEPYTHRW

Ummm…”served in secret”? You’ve had the twitter handle @FBI_Sullivan since 2018.

What other secrets did you “keep”?😳

Shhh! You’re going to blow his cover!

Commenters quickly pointed out that their support for FBI job cuts has only increased after being introduced to Sullivan.

If anyone was on the fence about massive @DOGE layoffs at the FBI please remember this is the kind of moron that agency employed for 17 years

Me: “Hey Siri, why does the FBI need to be completely gutted?”

Siri: “Hold on, let me play you a video…”

Of course, Sullivan labeled the January 6 rioters as ‘insurrectionists.’

Fighting J6 insurrectionists. In other words, you’re the “establishment” which everyone despises.

The “Insurrectionists Who Stormed Our Capitol” ?

Wow.

At least you’re not hiding the fact that you’re extremely biased and shouldn’t have been at the FBI

The ‘insurrectionist’ nonsense points to further bias. Commenters feel confident that Sullivan supported and participated in other FBI attacks against Americans.

100% chance this guy was going after parents and grandparents who spoke at school board meetings.

For years @FBI_Sullivan harassed conservatives, persecuted parents and protected pedophiles. Now he wants to be rewarded with the ability to further enrich himself in congress.

Ummm hell no

You used the FBI to persecute American citizens.

Posters say Sullivan looks weak and exudes a creepy vibe.

I refuse to believe that dude can handle a firearm. Absolutely refuse.

This dweeb was in the FBI? I guess Criminal Minds with Spencer Reid gave hope to every nerd that they too could join the FBI.

That dude doesn’t look like he could have protected us from fluffy feather pillows….

— Husker4Life (@NE_good_life) April 24, 2025

Wow. Step back into the shadows, dude. Creepy

Hopefully, Lawler can defeat this Dem and send him back into whatever dark place he sprang from.
