Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-Minn.) daughter revealed Tuesday that she’s unemployed after graduating from Barnard College — the elite school that suspended her last year after her arrest at a Columbia University anti-Israel protest.
“Unemployment got me,” Isra Hirsi captioned an Instagram Story selfie.
The 22-year-old jobless activist is apparently getting by peddling some of her old clothes to her more than 82,000 followers on the social media platform.
“I am now selling on [Depop]!! Check out if u wish,” Hirsi wrote, including a link to her page on the clothing resale app.
Multiple skirts, a pair of Dr. Martens boots and Hirsi’s “beloved multicolored striped cardigan” are among the items the keffiyeh-wearing college grad is looking to unload on the marketplace.
Hirsi was one of more than 100 anti-Israel protesters who were hauled away in cuffs by the NYPD last April after erecting a tent city on Columbia University’s Morningside Campus.
The self-described “hyper-woke” member of the Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD) group was suspended from Barnard College after her arrest, but the institution’s president offered to lift the punishment less than a week later — after Hirsi claimed she was homeless and couldn’t get food after being kicked out of the $90,000-per-year school.
Hirsi graduated from Barnard in May.
“There is no greater joy as a parent than seeing your child succeed, and today I am overwhelmed with joy and gratitude to see my eldest daughter Isra Hirsi graduate college,” Omar wrote on Facebook at the time, sharing pics from commencement.
“It’s been an incredible four years of tremendous growth and challenges as she navigated college life through a pandemic, move to NYC and a righteous fight against Columbia University’s support of genocide,” the Minneosta Democrat added.
“I am so proud of you, Isra and I can’t wait to see you flourish in the real world.”
Several top law firms and American CEOs have vowed not to hire graduates who engaged in discrimination or harassment of Jewish students during anti-Israel college protests that swept the nation in late 2023 and 2024.
It’s unclear if Hirsi’s unemployment is related to her anti-Israel activities at Columbia University or Barnard.
