The daughter of Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN) has been suspended from Columbia University after being arrested during campus-wide pro-Palestinian protests last week.
Isra Hirsi was one of more than 100 students who were arrested last week after a CHAZ-style encampment sprung up on the college green.
In response to the news, one Twitter/X user asked the question everyone was wondering; “Is this her daughter or niece?”
And she didn’t find much sympathy from anyone.
CHAZ, short for Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, was an area of downtown Seattle occupied by anti-police “protesters” during the George Floyd riots in the summer of 2020.
Columbia University President Minouche Shafik quickly released a statement condemning the protests, not for their content but for how they were conducted.
“There will be many views across our diverse community about how best to do this and that is as it should be. But we cannot have one group dictate terms and attempt to disrupt important milestones like graduation to advance their point of view.”
All of the students who were arrested have been suspended from the university, Hirsi included.
Hirsi, being by proxy famous, immediately jumped on the mainstream media talk show circuit and declared that she was now homeless and hungry.
Despite Hirsi being among hundreds arrested, she, quite hilariously, attempted to claim on MSNBC that she was singled out for arrest because of her identity. She also said that she’s “a little bit frantic” after being kicked out.
Life comes at you fast.
