While searching on YouTube for the video of the protesters at the Capitol this weekend, I found what I think is the original video.
This is not the 48-second excerpt that I've seen elsewhere. This one is 6:51 in length.
I'll save you the time and effort of watching the entire video: Move the slider out to just less than half-way, and watch the timer at the right.
Listen carefully at 3:31 to 3:34. You may have to turn up the volume a bit.
I'm not sure exactly what is being yelled at that point. But, I think I can hear how it could have been interpreted.

I didn’t hear it but then it’s only black people I hear
using it so am just not used to others saying it.

The Congresscritter who said someone spit on him - those standing next to the alleged spitter said nothing such happened - and that the cops did not detain anyone. I've read that the Capitol police denied arresting anyone, despite the Congressman's claim. Unfortunately, that clarification hasn't been reported, either.

It sounded like they were shouting traitor...is that what they are saying was the n-word?"Traitor" is what I heard also.

Apparently so. But, I'm not sure what is actually being said. My high-frequency hearing is terrible, and it makes it very difficult to understand spoken words when there's a lot of background noise. It sounds as much like "Traitor" as anything else, though. There was lots of booing and shouting of kill the bill as the primary sounds, so it's hard to tell what one or two people were saying so I can't say with absolute certainty but it sounded like traitor to me. I know that if I were there I wouldn't ever use a racial slur, but I might call them a traitor as they are...they are violating their oath to protect and defend the Constitution.

I hear it too. I can’t be sure what was being yelled but it sounded like the N-word repeated a few times.
Folks we have to deal with these issues with integrity. Just because someone once said a lie, doesn’t mean they are always lying. Sure they can’t be trusted, sure what they say needs to be verified but that doesn’t mean they are lying about THIS.
To: justlurking
Unfortunately, that clarification hasn't been reported, either. Gee, I wonder why?
This has been a truly pathetic episode in MSM history, even by their sordid standards.

yup that’s what I heard
To: SuperSonic
"Traitor" is what I heard also.And given what they have been doing it's also accurate.

I say we quit analysing this trivial stuff. This is distracting and thats exactly what the Dems want. I don't think it's trivial. This incident is being reported as fact, when there's no clear corroboration.
If the accusation is a fabrication, then it should be exposed as one. Otherwise, it becomes the "image" of the Tea Party protesters and marginalizes them (which is exactly the intention).

Unlike the Boy Scouts who were spat upon at the Dem Convention in 2000, actions the video recorded accurately if unintentionally.

“Traitor” is exactly what I heard as well. They likely heard what they wanted to hear.

The tea party is full of lame minded weaklings. Till the race card is dealt with there will be no conservative movement worth sending our money.Um . . .what? What "race card" are you saying needs to be played? And what about the tea party participants is "lame-minded" in your view? Please be specific.

I cant be sure what was being yelled but it sounded like the N-word repeated a few times.So can allegations then be flung throughout the media without the media being able to substantiate the charges being made? The spitting claim is already highly suspect, and we all know these folks just live to play the race card.

I agree that the two or three yells at 3:31 to 3:34 rhyme with ‘bigger.’ But the clearer one at 3:51 just sounds like a yell. I do not doubt that someone could have yelled the ‘n’ word that day. But do not tar and feather the whole crowd of thousands based on one person.
Just as an anti-war democrat would not want to be lumped in with the every-other-word-an-”eff” protesters.
