"On Tuesday, amid chiding reporters for lacking a sense of humor about something that was not a joke, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders had the following exchange with One America News Network's Trey Yingst:
Yingst: "And I have one quick follow-up, Sarah, on taxes. The President repeated this claim in the Oval Office today, saying we're the highest-taxed nation in the world. Why does the President keep saying this? It's not true, overall."
Sanders: "We are the highest-taxed -- corporate tax in the developed economy. That's a fact."
Yingst: "But that's not what the President said."
Sanders: "That's what he's talking about. We are the highest corporate-taxed country in the developed economies across the globe."
Yingst: "Sarah, so that's accurate, but the President keeps repeating this claim that we're the highest-taxed nation in the world."
Sanders: "We are the highest-taxed corporate nation."
Yingst: "But that's not what he said. He said we're the highest-taxed nation in the world."
Sanders: "The highest-taxed corporate nation. It seems pretty consistent to me. Sorry, we're just going to have to agree to disagree."
