Congressman Jamaal Bowman claims that the Thursday arrest of fellow “Squad' member Rep. Ilhan Omar’s daughter at anti-Israel protests at Columbia University was political payback.
Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., has claimed that the Thursday arrest of fellow 'Squad' member Rep. Ilhan Omar’s daughter at anti-Israel protests at Columbia University was political payback for the congresswoman’s probing of the institution’s leadership the day before. Bowman said Omar, D-Minn., had questioned Columbia leadership’s commitment to 'free academic expression' during a fiery congressional hearing on Wednesday and the following day her daughter, Isra Hirsi, was arrested.
Earlier in the day, Hirsi said she was suspended from Barnard College, located near Columbia, for 'standing in solidarity with Palestinians facing a genocide.'
