Ben Carson has fired back at Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., after the controversial freshman congresswoman criticized him after a hearing Tuesday.

Omar knocked the Housing and Urban Development (HUD) secretary over his conduct during an appearance before the House Financial Services Committee.

"Not sure he was fully awake, maybe he meant to reclaim his time back to sleep," she tweeted. She was playing off of Carson's request for time during a testy exchange with Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass.

Carson, a renowned doctor and former director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Children's Center, fired back in a tweet by touting his endurance during marathon surgeries.
