Megyn Kelly had very little time for Isra Hirsi after the daughter of ‘Squad’ congresswoman Ilhan Omar told a major magazine that she was homeless and without food after being suspended.
Hirsi, 21, was part of a now Multi-day protest on the Columbia University campus in support of Palestine that has drawn strong condemnation from both sides of the political spectrum, including the White House.
She and two of her Barnard College classmates (the college is a sister school to Columbia) were among the more than 100 protesters arrested, an NYPD spokesperson confirmed to DailyMail.com.
Hirsi has now revealed that she was evicted from campus housing and banned from the dining hall, leaving her without shelter or food, which ‘The Megyn Kelly Show’ host says is just desserts.
‘Would you forgive? I just have crocodile tears for this person,” Kelly said in reaction to Hirsi’s situation.

Kelly also commented that Hirsi had “become a public face of these protests” by agreeing to speak to both MSNBC and Teen Vogue.
“She decides to portray her stay there as if she was basically kicked out of the last homeless shelter in New York, with no food and no roof over her head,” Kelly added.
Eliana Johnson, editor of the Washington Free Beacon, added that Hirsi’s behavior “violated university policy.”
Kelly concluded the segment with a joke about rumors about Hirsi’s mother’s marriage.
‘I think we are being too harsh on Ilhan Omar’s daughter. Let’s face it, for a short period of time, her uncle became her stepfather when her mother married her brother. So those kinds of things can cause lasting damage, which can manifest in various ways,” she joked.
Hirsi says she has nowhere to live or eat after being suspended for participating in anti-Israel protests.
‘I was a bit frantic, like, where am I going to sleep? Where am I going to go? And also all my shit gets thrown away in a random batch. It’s pretty horrible,” she said. teen fashion.
“I don’t know when I’ll be able to come home and I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to.”

She said the Barnard College administration has left her in the dust when it comes to being able to get food.
“I sent them an email like, ‘Hey, I depend on campus for my meals, I depend on my meal plan,’ and they said, Oh, you can come pick up a bag of packaged food, 48 hours later. They suspended me,” said.
“There was no food support, or anything.”
Hirsi, 21, showed a worried face as she was seen handcuffed along with many other pro-Palestine protesters, who were issued citations for trespassing.
She said they took her to 1 Police Plaza in Manhattan, where she was trapped for hours.
‘We had so many people who were born female in our group that they didn’t have enough space for us. “It was a very slow process to get everyone into the cells,” Hirsi said.
“They tied me up for about seven hours and didn’t release me until about eight,” adding that he didn’t leave until a total of 13 hours after his arrest.
However, Hirsi saved his harshest words for Laura Rosenbury, Barnard’s president, who he felt overreacted.
Hirsi said the Barnard College administration has left her in the dark when it comes to being able to get food.
“I think it’s really on a school-by-school basis, and Barnard has decided to take a very egregious stance against us,” Hirsi said.
He said Rosenbury and Barnard leaders ‘feel like there’s not a lot of attention on them right now and that they have the ability to do it, because [Columbia President Minouche] Shafik was on stage at Congress and is being actively harassed for what she is doing.
Several lawmakers from both parties have said Shafik should resign, including Democratic Sen. John Fetterman.
Hirsi said most Barnard students ‘identify as female’ and are warned that if they leave their dorms, they will not be allowed back in. Barnard is an all-women’s college.
What she hopes is that attention will shift away from university campuses and back to the plight of the people in Gaza, whom she says Colombia has “complicity in the genocide.”
“Many of us are grateful that people are paying attention and noticing how severe the repression has been on our campus, but it’s been a little frustrating to focus on Columbia over what’s happening in Gaza,” he said.
‘We will hold it down, but we will hold it down for Gaza, not just for the people who have been suspended; and the repression is explicitly due to the fact that we were fighting to end the war in Gaza,” he added.
Omar, for his part, praised his daughter. in a social media post after his arrest.
Buses full of protesters were expelled as students insulted New York police officers.
‘I am enormously proud of my daughter. She has always led with courage and compassion, from organizing a statewide school walkout on the 20th anniversary of Columbine when she was 15, to leading the largest youth climate rally at our nation’s Capitol at age 16, and now pressure your school to oppose genocide.’
The White House joined a chorus of people from across the political spectrum in criticizing pro-Palestinian protesters at Columbia University for anti-Semitic rhetoric at demonstrations on campus on Sunday.
“While every American has the right to peacefully protest, calls for violence and physical intimidation against Jewish students and the Jewish community are blatantly anti-Semitic, unconscionable, and dangerous; they have absolutely no place on any college campus or anywhere in USA”. United States of America,” said White House Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates.
