An image of a lone Trumpsupporter protesting Joe Biden’s inauguration outside of the New York State Capitol has gone viral.

The protester, Mark Leggiero, travelled to the state’s Capitol in Albany on Wednesday under the impression that he would be protesting President Biden’s inauguration alongside thousands of Trump supporters, according to Spectrum News reporter Morgan Mckay.

An image of Mr Leggiero standing alone in front of the Capitol while holding a Trump flag, went viral on Wednesday after Ms McKay shared it to her Twitter profile.

Mr Leggiero told NBC New Yorkthat he turned up to the state Capitol on Wednesday because he “wanted to be part of the Patriot Party, join supporters of Trump, y’know?”

The Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday that Mr Trump is considering the launch of his own political party to compete with the Republicans, named “The Patriot Party,” which Mr Leggiero was seemingly referencing.

Mr Leggiero expressed disappointment that he spent the day by himself outside of the Capitol, adding: “I was hoping that we’d have more supporters out here.”

Mr Trump and his supporters have spent the months since 3 November’s election refusing to accept President Biden’s victory and repeatedly falsely claiming that there was widespread fraud in the Democrats’ favour.
