Ivanka Trump and Kellyanne Conway both hear “Laurel.” Whoever is recording the video says to Sarah Huckabee Sanders, “Sarah it’s been reported that you hear ‘Laurel,’ how do you respond?” Sanders responds, “Clearly you’re getting your information from CNN because that’s fake news. All I hear is ‘Yanny.’”

And as for our president? He hears “Covefe.”
