This week Ben Carson was before a congressional hearing where a Democrat was grilling him with a bunch of ‘yes or no’ questions that he clearly took issue with. In the clip he’s very soft-spoken and he even lightly mocks the woman questioning him after she refuses to ask him anything but yes or no questions:
CLIP: Complete exchange between Rep. Pressley and Secretary Carson.@SecretaryCarson: “Reclaiming my time.”@RepPressley: “You don’t get to do that.”
Carson: “Oh.”@RepMaxineWaters: “The time belongs to the gentle lady.” pic.twitter.com/HFlS749tji

Carson cracked me up when he tried to reclaim his time…
The clip was posted to Twitter and Ilhan Omar suggested that, because of Carson’s soft-spoken responses, that perhaps he needed more sleep:
Not sure he was fully awake, maybe he meant to reclaim his time back to sleep. https://t.co/t25Pta8bVY

Carson actually responded to Omar and got in a good dig at her, pointing out that he cares for all people – even the ones she thinks doesn’t deserve to live:
Since you brought it up… I know what it’s like to actually be sleepy, especially after 18-hour surgeries and operating on babies in the womb. I hope @IlhanMN knows I care about all people, even those she doesn’t recognize as having a right to life. https://t.co/BRl3ibSKM3

Dang. Nice pro-life jab.
