Pro-Palestinian protesters disrupted Rep. Adam Schiff’s, D-Calif, victory speech on Tuesday after he secured the Democratic nomination<\/a> for a U.S. Senate seat.<\/p>\n

The seat was held for more than 30 years by former Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., until her death last year, prompting Gov. Gavin Newsom to appoint Democrat Sen. Laphonza Butler to fill the vacancy.<\/p>\n

As Schiff attempted to introduce his family at his watch party following his victory, demonstrators chanted “cease-fire now” and “Free Palestine,” and the chants grew louder as the lawmaker’s remarks were drowned out.<\/p>\n

At least one person was escorted away from the stage amid the protest.<\/p>\n

Schiff addressed the protest following the disruption.<\/p>\n

“We are so lucky to live in a democracy where we all have the right to protest,” he said. “We want to make sure we keep this kind of democracy.”<\/p>\n

The California Democrat<\/a> told reporters Tuesday that he supported the Biden administration\u2019s call for a cease-fire in Gaza on the condition of the release of Israeli hostages.<\/p>\n

“My position is the same as the administration, which is there needs to be a deal to release the hostages and have a pause in the fighting,” Schiff said.<\/p>\n

This comes five months after Hamas terrorists launched an attack against Israel, leading to military retaliation by Israeli forces.<\/a> Hamas took more than 200 hostages during the attack on Oct. 7.<\/p>\n
