We wrote previously about the whining of Isra Hirsi — daughter of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) — after she was arrested and suspended from school for her participation in the unhinged Columbia protests. She complained that she was homeless and wasn't able to get food. Then her mother came to her defense and claimed that the protests had been "co-opted" to make the protesters look bad, but of course, she produced no evidence of this; it seemed to be all about deflecting from the things the activists had done.
But it looks like Omar's daughter is still whining. She went on MSNBC and painted the protesters as the victims in all this and claimed that the criticism of them was hypocritical, saying they were always met with counter-protesters.

How dare they get a taste of their own medicine? Aren't other people permitted to protest? Or are only radical leftists allowed? Notice the "Revcom Corps" banner featured in that report calling for revolution, including in the U.S. (Revcom Corps is the Revolution Communists group.) Also, check out the signs with the "Party for Socialism and Liberation" at the bottom.
“There is definitely some hypocrisy here,” Hirsi groused on MSNBC Monday night. “You can kind of see it with the students that sprayed us with the chemical weapons and the fact that there is no public information as to what happened to them.
Although she didn’t specify what “chemical weapon” incident she was referencing, a Jewish student at Columbia University recently filed a suit against his suspension for discharging two “novelty fart sprays” during one of the protests.
That spray, which was bought on Amazon, was “non-toxic,” that student referred to as “John Doe,” alleged in the lawsuit.
Now, if that's what she's complaining about, that's truly funny, and she makes it sound like they were somehow endangered or hurt. Cry more — how ridiculous can you be? But that's the radical left.
Hirsi, of course, doesn't talk about the violence, the anti-semitism, and the harassment that some of the Jewish students have faced on the campus. The school has even shifted to hybrid learning now to reduce the tensions.
But Hirsi shrugged all that off and didn't seem to give a darn, describing the camp they'd thrown up as "honestly one of the beautiful forms of solidarity.”
Hirsi was undeterred from her protest activity and explained that she had three basic demands.
“Our three demands are … asking Columbia University to divest from all companies that are complicit in genocide, … transparency of Colombia’s investments, … as well as amnesty for all students that are actively being repressed and that were also suspended due to these pro-Palestinian protests,” she said.
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, does it?
