Democrat Tom Suozzi celebrated his projected win in New York’s 3rd Congressional District saying, “despite the dirty tricks” and attacks, “we won.”
“We won this race — we, you, won this race because we addressed the issues and we found a way to bind our divisions,” he told his supporters.
Before he started speaking, at least two protesters attempted to interrupt, shouting: “you’re supporting genocide, stop supporting genocide!” and “ceasefire now! You support genocide!”
Another, third, protester tried to interrupt during the opening moments of his speech as well. “For the last four months —” the protester said before being drowned out by the crowd chanting “Suozzi.”
Later in his remarks, Suozzi pointed to the protesters as an example of divisions in the country and said the special election race was centered around divisive issues like immigration and the economy. Suozzi focused much of his campaign on targeting voters who were looking for bipartisan solutions.
“Like we just saw with the protest tonight. Okay? There are divisions in our country where people can’t even talk to each other,” he said. “And that’s not the answer to the problems we face in our country. The answer is to try and bring people of goodwill together to try and find that common ground.”
