Nairobi Woman Representative Esther Passaris was shielded by her bodyguards after supporters of Embakasi East MP Babu Owino harrassed her at the Milimani Law Courts.
Ms Passaris had gone to court to hear Mr Owino's bail ruling when a group of rowdy youth started hurling insults at her.
The youth called her a traitor for sending an apology to the Kenyatta family in a Facebook post following Owino's recent demeaning comments.
The suspected goons asked the Woman Rep to apologise and pull down the Facebook post.
It took the intervention of Lawyer Otiende Amollo who was part of the team representing Owino to calm the rowdy group down.
On Monday, Passaris condemned Owino over his derogatory remarks believed to have been directed at President Uhuru Kenyatta.
She stated that the former student leader had crossed the line and urged leaders to avoid abusing their freedom of expression and instead exercise responsibility in what they say.

Over the weekend, Babu was accused of referring to President Kenyatta as a puppy.
Speaking at Kawangware's Stage 46 in Dagoretti North, Babu told the crowd: "If Muammar Gaddafi was removed by citizens, if Laurent Gbagbo was removed by citizens, if Yahya Jammmeh was removed by citizens, who are you? Wewe ni mtoto wa mbwa (You are the son of a dog)."
Owino spent Monday night at Pangani Police Station and Tuesday night at Kileleshwa Police Station.
He appeared before Magistrate Francis Andayi and was charged with two counts, one of subversion and another of uttering abusive words against the President, to which he pleaded not guilty.
The court is set to decide on his bail today.
