Sparks fly during vote to knock Rep. Ilhan Omar off Foreign Affairs Committee | LiveNOW from FOX

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., lashed out at House Speaker Kevin McCarthy Tuesday, describing his effort to personally whip votes against her retaining her seat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee as "pathetic."

"The fact that this has become a sole focus for [House Speaker Kevin McCarthy] that he is personally whipping votes for it is really pathetic. Not the debt ceiling or all the actual priorities a Speaker should be fighting to deal with and whip votes for," Omar tweeted.

She was referencing a separate tweet from another user reporting that Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., wasn't planning to change her vote against the upcoming resolution to remove Omar from her committee assignment.
