In latest episode of so-called piegate, White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders baked four pecan pies for a reporters’ potluck Christmas party.
Before the Thursday night party, Sanders posted images related to the baking of the pecan pies via Twitter.
In her tweets, Sanders named April Ryan, a White House reporter and CNN political analyst, who created a storm in a tea cup when she tweeted her skepticism about an earlier pie-making claim by Sanders.
Ryan was there on hand at the party to greet Sanders as she delivered the pies which proved to be a media event in of itself.
In the video tweets below, Ryan claimed her questioning of Sander’s pie making was all a joke.

Below is the pie tweet that began it all.
A doubtful Ryan responded to that initial pie tweet via social media.
“Show it to us on a table,” Ryan said back to Sanders via tweet.
Ryan’s statement brought on criticism in some quarters of the media, with even the Washington Post doing an op-ed on piegate – a piece that was welcomed by Sanders herself.
