The Air Force Just Apologized For Making a Yanny vs. Laurel Joke About the Taliban
Townhall, May 18, 2018, Katie Pavlich

If you've been paying attention to the latest viral controversy this week, you know that the following audio says "Yanny," not "Laurel."

It says Yanny. Those who claim it says "Laurel" are spreading fake news.

Regardless, the Air Force sent a Yanny vs. Laurel reference out on their Twitter feed Thursday morning about the Taliban.

By the afternoon, they took it down and apologized.

We apologize for the earlier tweet regarding the A-10. It was made in poor taste and we are addressing it internally. It has since been removed.
