Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar’s daughter, Isra Hirsi, is claiming she faced the very real threats of homelessness and hunger after getting temporarily suspended from the $90,000-a-year Barnard College for illegally squatting on Columbia University’s campus.
Hirsi was one of several students hauled off and suspended after setting up an “unauthorized encampment” on the lawn on Columbia, Barnard College’s sister school, in “solidarity” with Palestine. In a statement, Barnard said it gave its students every opportunity to leave the camp, warning them that they would be suspended if they didn’t vacate the premises.
But apparently, a school making good on its promise to evict and punish trespassers and rule-violators is “egregious,” according to Hirsi, who told the ever-slobbering MSNBC that her arrest was "100 percent targeting."

Thanks to the school's decision, Hirsi said she faced homelessness and starvation by being banned from campus.
“I was a little bit frantic, like, where am I going to sleep? Where am I gonna go?” the congresswoman’s daughter whined to Teen Vogue. “And also all of my s–t is thrown in a random lot. It’s pretty horrible…I have like four shirts, two pairs of pants. I don’t know when I can go home, and I don’t know if I ever will be able to.”

On top of having to sleep on a local park bench in the rain (which I somehow doubt is happening), Hirsi also complained she’s going hungry because she can’t access the school’s dining plan while suspended.
“I sent them an email like, ‘Hey, I rely on campus for my meals, I rely on my dining plan,’ and they were like, ‘Oh, you can come pick up a prepackaged bag of food, a full 48 hours after I was suspended.’ There was no food support, no nothing,” she said.
Womp womp.
Maybe call your antiSemitic, pro-terrorist mom who makes $174k a year mooching off the same taxpayers she loves to screw over, and who tweeted she’s “so proud” of your little squatting stunt. I bet she's more than happy to bankroll your meals and hotel stay.
After all, I’m pretty sure you didn’t get into a $90k-a-year school on your charm and good looks alone.

AOC says student loan forgiveness will help people go back to school, which sounds like the stupidest idea ever.
