'Squad' Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's daughter once bragged of being so 'woke' it annoyed her progressive Gen Z peers in a TEDx Talk that resurfaced after she was arrested and suspended from Barnard College.
Isra Hirsi, 21, was part of a now days-long protest on the campus of Columbia University in support of Palestine that has drawn heavy 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 with Columbia - are among the more than 100 protestors have been arrested, an NYPD spokesperson confirmed to DailyMail.com.
Hirsi - who says she has been evicted from campus housing and banned from the dining hall - has long been an activist rabble-rouser, as a 2020 TEDxTalk at Wake Forest University in North Carolina reveals.
In a talk called 'The Angry Black Girl' she said: 'I would say something all the time and kids in my classes used to get super annoyed at me pointing out everything even if it was slightly sexist…but I was proud of it.'
