April Ryan Fires Back at Sanders Over Pie — ‘Trust and Believe I Will Not Be Eating It’
White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders took some serious heat over Thanksgiving weekend — and not just from her kitchen back on the farm.
It all started with a pie — or, rather, a photo of a pie — that Sanders said she had baked for the family’s Thanksgiving meal:
I️ dont cook much these days, but managed this Chocolate Pecan Pie for Thanksgiving at the family farm! pic.twitter.com/rO8nFxtly7

And when the critics piled on, suggesting that Sanders had simply shared a stock photo of someone else’s pie, CNN political analyst April Ryan jumped in:
I am not trying to be funny but folks are already saying #piegate and #fakepie Show it to us on the table with folks eating it and a pic of you cooking it. I am getting the biggest laugh out of this. I am thankful for this laugh on Black Friday! https://t.co/ifeSBlSZW7

Sanders quickly offered proof, saying she’d bake another for Ryan:
Don’t worry @AprilDRyan because I’m nice I’ll bake one for you next week #RealPie #FakeNews 😉 https://t.co/5W3mGbKs4J

But Ryan wasn’t having it — she quickly fired back:
Okay I want to watch you bake it and put it on the table. But forgive I won’t eat it. Remember you guys don’t like the press. https://t.co/gcAt1Sl32i

@PressSec you can bring any pie you like, store bought or homemade into the briefing room. But, trust and believe I will not be eating it. But I will be raising my hand for answers relevant questions.
