Newly elected Tom Suozzi, who flipped the seat left vacant when New York Republicans helped remove George Santos, laughed off an awkward situation on Tuesday.
Suozzi, who defeated a Republican who conceded earlier that night, was just about to start his victory speech when a protester stormed the stage and continued yelling, "Stop supporting genocide! Cease fire now!"

Suozzi said no words, instead allowing the protester to be moved away before smiling and continuing with his speech.
As he continued speaking, it appears another protester tried to interrupt him, but chants of "Suozzi!" from the crowd drowned them out.
"I love America!" Suozzi shouted.
