An Uber ad featuring left-wing activist John Sullivan, who was arrested on federal charges Thursday in connection with the Capitol riot last week, has been hidden on the equestrian YouTube channel.
Sullivan was a competitive speed skater who aspired to compete in the 2018 Olympics. He appears in a 2016 ad for Uber, which highlights how he worked as a manager to earn cash around his tight full-time training schedule.
