Ilhan Omar comes to Columbia University to save her homeless daughter: Squad ... trends now
A week after Rep. Ilhan Omar's daughter, Isra Hirsi, was arrested for protesting at Columbia University, she and her progressive 'Squad' member mother visited the pro-Gaza camp on campus to enjoy the campus and take selfies with activists.

Her post accompanied a video of her shaking protestors hands and receiving warm welcomes from the students.
Omar's trip comes a day after Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, R-La., visited the campus to condemn the demonstrators to a chorus of boos and protest.
Johnson slammed the crowds at Columbia as being 'lawless agitators and radicals' and questioned their ability to become 'leaders of America.'
He also praised the Jewish students who remain committed to their education and have braced vicious anti-Israel protests to do so.
'We will not be silent while Jewish students are expected to run for their lives,' the speaker told the crowd.
Johnson, who met with Columbia University President Minouche Shafik before making his address, publicly called for her to
