An anti-Israel activist shouted multiple epithets at Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., as he made an appearance at a Washington, D.C. college disrupted by protests.
On Wednesday, Donalds was one of the Republicans on the House Oversight Committee who visited an anti-Israel protester encampment at George Washington University amid a nationwide series of protests about the war in Gaza. The Daily Caller released video of Donalds being berated by a middle-aged man with a foreign accent who appeared to be part of the protests that afternoon.
"How much is AIPAC paying you, you bastard?" the man asked, referring to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, an organization which lobbies for policies favorable to Israel. While this initially did not draw a significant reaction, Donalds turned around when the same man asked, "How much is AIPAC paying you, you race traitor?"
Another person in the audience could be heard objecting, "’Race traitor,’ what!?"
The protester continued, "Yeah! Yeah! Uncle Tom!"
Someone else asked, "Why is the United States supporting a Jewish supremacist country?"
The first protester continued his line of attack, "Outside agitators aren’t allowed, you’re working for a foreign entity, you bastard!"
Donalds calmly quipped, "That guy’s really old to be in college, anyway-," and turned around to field more questions.

Donalds declared that while he supports George Washington's leadership, he demanded further action from the D.C. mayor.
"Trespassing is ILLEGAL. This isn't hard," he said of the protesters, adding, "I stand with @GWtweets leadership I stand for law & order in our nation's capital. It's BEYOND TIME that Mayor Bowser takes action & removes this illegal encampment per the university's request."
George Washington released a statement about the House committee members' visit, declaring, "University officials met with the group in advance of their tour to inform the delegation about how GW has responded to the demonstration. University officials reaffirmed their commitment to the safety of all students, freedom of speech, accountability for those who have violated university policy, and stability on the campus so students can complete their academic requirements and attend their graduation ceremonies."
Fox News Digital reached out to both George Washington University and Donalds for comment but has yet to receive a response.
