Megyn Kelly had very little time for Isra Hirsi after the daughter of “Squad” MP Ilhan Omar told a major magazine she was homeless and without food after being suspended.
Hirsi, 21, was part of a NOW A multi-day protest on the campus of Columbia University in support of Palestine, which drew heavy condemnation from both sides of the political spectrum, including from the White House.
She and two of her classmates from Barnard College – the college is a sister school of Columbia – were among the more than 100 protesters arrested, an NYPD spokesperson confirmed to DailyMail.com.
Hirsi has now revealed that she was kicked out of her on-campus housing and banned from the dining hall, leaving her without shelter or food, which “The Megyn Kelly Show” host says is just desserts.
“Could you spare me?” I have nothing but crocodile tears for this person,” Kelly said in reaction to Hirsi’s situation.

Kelly also noted that Hirsi had “made herself a public face of these protests” by agreeing to speak to both MSNBC and Teen Vogue.
“She decides to describe her time there as if she had just been kicked out of New York’s last homeless shelter, with no food and no roof over her head,” Kelly added.
Eliana Johnson, editor-in-chief of the Washington Free Beacon, added that Hirsi’s behavior “violated university policy.”
Kelly ended the segment by cracking down on the rumors surrounding Hirsi’s mother’s marriage.
“I think we are being too harsh on Ilhan Omar’s daughter. Let’s be honest, for a brief period her uncle became her stepfather when her mother married her brother. This kind of thing can cause lasting damage, which can manifest in many ways,” she joked.
Hirsi says she has nowhere to live or eat after being suspended for participating in anti-Israel protests.
“I was a little frantic, like: Where am I going to sleep? Where am I going to go? And also all my crap is thrown out randomly. It’s pretty horrible,” she told Teen Vogue.
“I don’t know when I’ll be able to go home, and I don’t know if I ever will.”

She said the Barnard College administration sidelined her when it came to being able to get food.
“I sent them an email like, ‘Hey, I rely on campus for my meals, I rely on my meal plan,’ and they were like, ‘Oh, you can come pick up a bag of prepackaged food, 48 hours later. “I was suspended,” she said.
“There was no food aid, nothing at all.”
Hirsi, 21, wore a worried face as she was seen handcuffed alongside many other pro-Palestinian sit-in protesters, who were issued summonses for trespassing.
She said she was taken to 1 Police Plaza in Manhattan, where she was stuck for hours.
“We had so many females born in our group that there wasn’t enough space for us. It’s been a very slow process to get everyone into the cells,” Hirsi said.
“I was tied up for about seven hours and I was only released for about eight hours,” adding that she was only released for a total of 13 hours after her arrest.
Hirsi, however, reserved her harshest words for Laura Rosenbury, Barnard’s president, who she said overreacted.
Hirsi said the Barnard College administration sidelined her when it came to being able to get food.
“I think it’s really a matter of school by school, and Barnard has decided to take a very blatant stance against us,” Hirsi said.
She said Rosenbury and Barnard leaders “feel like they’re not in the spotlight right now and they have the ability to do it, because (Columbia President Minouche) Shafik was on the congressional stage and is actively harassed about what is happening. she is doing it.
Several lawmakers on both sides of the party have said Shafik should resign, including Democratic Sen. John Fetterman.
Hirsi said most Barnard students identify as women and are warned that if they leave their dorm, they will not be allowed to return. Barnard is an all-women’s university.
What she hopes is that attention will be diverted from college campuses and back to the plight of the people of Gaza, whom she says Colombia is “complicit in genocide.”
“Many of us are grateful that people are paying attention and noticing the severity of the repression on our campuses, but it’s been a little frustrating to focus on Colombia at the expense of what’s even happening in Gaza,” he said. she declared.
“We maintain it, but we maintain it for Gaza, not just because of the people who were suspended; and the repression is explicitly because we are fighting to end the war in Gaza,” she added.
Omar, for his part, praised his daughter in a social media post following his arrest.

“I am extremely proud of my daughter. She has always led with courage and compassion, from organizing a march in schools across the state on the 20th anniversary of Columbine at age 15, to leading the largest youth climate rally at our nation’s Capitol at age 16, and she’s now pushing her 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 their anti-Semitic rhetoric during demonstrations on campus Sunday.
“While every American has the right to peaceful protest, calls for violence and physical intimidation against Jewish students and the Jewish community are blatantly anti-Semitic, unacceptable and dangerous – they have absolutely no place on a college campus or elsewhere in the United States. United States of America,” said White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates.
