Pro-Palestinian protesters disrupt Democrat’s congressional victory

February 14, 2024 - 23:17

Protesters waving Palestinian flags attempted to crash the stage as Democrat Tom Suozzi started his victory speech after winning the New York congressional seat vacated by disgraced Republican George Santos.

“You can’t hide!” one protester shouted at him. “You’re supporting genocide! Stop supporting genocide!” 

Suozzi has been a vocal supporter of Israel’s war on Gaza. 

The Long Island district held for a decade by Democrats was flipped by Santos in the 2022 midterms. However, Santos was kicked out of the House less than a year into his tenure for lying about his background and being indicted for several financial crimes.
