White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders hit back at those who accuse her of lying in a new report.

In a New York Times article published Wednesday, Sanders is quoted:

“‘It certainly bothers me,’ she said of the ‘liar’ rap. ‘Because one of the few things you have are your integrity and reputation.'”

Sanders also told the Times, “‘There’s a difference between misspeaking or not knowing something than maliciously lying.'”
