The Huffington Post reports:
The leadership of the New York Young Republican Club, a far-right group, wants to be very clear: It’s actually a good thing that only a handful of Donald Trump supporters showed up to the pro-Trump rally held Monday outside the Manhattan district attorney’s office.
“We purposefully kept it small,” the club’s president, Gavin Wax, told HuffPost. “I think there’s more cameras here than people,” observed Vish Burra, the club’s executive secretary and a staffer for Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.).
Turnout couldn’t have gotten much lower. Despite Trump’s call just a few days prior to “PROTEST, TAKE OUR NATION BACK,” members of the media vastly outnumbered Trump supporters at the rally.

I’m currently across the street from Manhattan Criminal Court, where NYYRC and Long Island Loud Majority have called a rally for Trump at a “secret location.”
It is… mostly media right now. But there’s also far right protestor named Augusto “Lito” Alarcon dressed as a rat. pic.twitter.com/89VRh81qbI

Bob Porco, shown below, strummed his guitar while walking around me speak-singing about “we should push antifa into the street.” He was also overheard singing that he wanted to “f*ck AOC in the mouth.”
He assaulted multiple people yesterday, was arrested. https://t.co/IOn95hjn3B https://t.co/w8GcAQxwoW

We successfully held a peaceful rally for President Donald J. Trump today in lower Manhattan.
Despite the threat of violence and the media salivating over a chance of J6 2.0 we have proven that if you can protest in support of Trump here, you can anywhere.
We stand with Trump… https://t.co/oDrzgWTHCn pic.twitter.com/49pvUrhNp6
