Katie Hopkins spotted lurking in locked-down Capitol as Joe Biden was sworn in

Katie Hopkins was spotted walking around the locked-down Capitol as Joe Biden was sworn in as US president on Wednesday afternoon.

Biden was named the 46th US president at yesterday's high-security inauguration, with 25,000 National Guard troops posted around Washington, DC, following the attempted coup two weeks ago.

Security was beefed up after pro-Trump rioters stormed the Capitol on January 6.

Among the quiet streets in Washington DC, shamed racist Katie cut a solitary figure at the scene.

The former The Apprentice loser, 45, emerged when she was captured on camera by Business Insider journalist Anthony L. Fisher.

Katie was dressed for the chill in a furry pillbox hat, a wrap-around scarf and a padded jacket for the occasion.

The gaunt-looking TV personality managed a vague smile as she was snapped standing alone in front of a small gathering of people.

In recent days, she has been regularly updating her 189,000 followers on Instagram in the lead up to the inauguration.

In June last year, Katie was permanently suspended from Twitter for violating its hateful conduct policy.

Her account previously had a million followers.

Many celebrities descended on DC ahead of the inauguration ceremony.

Katy Perry led a galaxy of stars with her performance of the song Fireworks at the White House for the inauguration concert, Celebrating America.

Hollywood actor Tom Hanks hosted the showbiz extravaganza welcoming Biden.

John Legend, Demi Lovato and Bruce Springsteen joined the catalogue of A-listers performing at the star-studded concert.

Celebrating America was the primetime special episode that marked the historic day in the United States.

Donald Trump broke tradition by snubbing the inauguration, leaving with his wife Melania for the relative safety of his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.
