Sarah Huckabee Sanders Ends 'Piegate'; Gives April Ryan a Homemade Pie
Townhall.com ^ | December 14, 2017 | Christine Rousselle

it turns out the cake pie isn't a lie after all. 

After being accused of using a stock photo of a pecan pie by journalist April Ryan (in what was dubbed "piegate" and likely resulted in Ryan not being invited to the White House Christmas party), Sanders proved once and for all that yes, she can actually bake. Pretty well, as it turns out. 

In case you missed it, here was the original exchange, where Ryan insisted that the pie Sanders tweeted was not made by her. 

Show it to us on a table. https://t.co/ifeSBlSZW7— AprilDRyan (@AprilDRyan) November 24, 2017

Golly. 

In the spirit of Christmas, and for a White House Christmas potluck party, Sanders baked four pies for members of the press. In a thread of tweets, Sanders posted images of the process of baking the pies, being sure to tag Ryan in the tweets.

Ingredients all mixed up and pies in the oven! @AprilDRyan let me know if you need further documentation #piegate pic.twitter.com/OVYLg1gBgO— Sarah Sanders (@PressSec) December 14, 2017

Excited to share these at tomorrow’s press potluck. Merry Christmas to the WH press corps! pic.twitter.com/PKqfHk3nXJ— Sarah Sanders (@PressSec) December 14, 2017

But there's a happy ending: Ryan received one of the pies, and "Piegate" is now, finally, over.

It was a wonderful reset gesture from the @PressSec to bake 4 pretty pies for us. We are building for better on all sides. Watch the video! https://t.co/FEQtsjdHGl— AprilDRyan (@AprilDRyan) December 14, 2017

Merry Christmas, everyone.

Three things:

Author starts out the article sounding condescending towards Sarah.

Sarah is a class act.

April will eat that pie in one sitting.

Hmpf. I thought chocolate pecan pie sounded about 500% better than regular pecan pie, which is basically an injection of Karo syrup. But then I can’t think of anyplace chocolate doesn’t belong...

Sarah is doing an incredible job. She’s such a good sport too, given the invective thrown at her by these piranhas.

Merry Christmas, Sarah, and thank you!

Her crusts look very even. She must use some sort of crust shaping tool.

No one would ever mistake my pies for store-bought—I just fold over the crust at the edge and mash it with a fork all the way around. I try to place the tines evenly—but nothing comes out even in my crust.

Thanks Kaslin. I'd have enjoyed it if Sarah had made a lot of pies, and given everyone BUT that monstrous **** April Ryan a slice to eat.

#2: "Should have made it a chocolate pie."

Mayor Federal inmate Ray Nagin approves this message.

“April will eat that pie in one sitting”

April will eat that pie before finding a place to sit.

The “press corps” these days is more like a bunch of mewling, juvenile little snowflakes than piranhas.
