Representative Tim Burchett from Tennessee encountered a situation that turned physical with an anti-Israel protester on Capitol Hill on Thursday. The congressman remained firm in his response to the confrontation.

The protester, whose identity remains unknown, confronted Burchett outside the Longworth House Office Building in Washington, D.C., voicing disagreement with his pro-Israel position. Capitol Police later questioned the individual.

As the demonstrator prattled on, he bumped the congressman with his body, which Burchett responded to with a hearty shove.

“Everyone is entitled to their opinion and can express themselves freely, but physically confronting the congressman is unacceptable,” stated Burchett’s spokesperson, Will Garrett, to The Post.

The protester was released without charges.

A strong advocate for Israel, Burchett, aged 61, proposed a House resolution in June condemning the United Nations for labeling the Israeli Defense Force as violators of children’s rights, dismissing it as mere theatrics and absurdity.

The Volunteer State rep. has not shied away from dishing it out to hecklers in the past.

In March, he delivered a savage retort to a lefty agitator who approached him on the Hill to harangue him about the Signal chat leak scandal.

In a viral video posted on X, the unidentified protester is seen questioning Burchett, “Do you trust Trump’s national security team to keep our war plans top secret?”

Burchett fired back, “Do you trust your mother every night to fix your Hot Pockets and make sure your Game Boy is turned on?”

He encountered the same troll earlier that same week, who asked him if he trusted the Trump administration to keep US war plans under wraps.

“I do — but I do not trust your wardrobe adviser,” Burchett countered.
