White House press secretary Sarah Sanders expects to share some of her pecan pie with White House correspondent April Ryan on Thursday afternoon and settle a three-week feud regarding whether the government spokesperson bakes her own desserts.
“April, I am looking forward to having some pie with you here momentarily,” Sanders told the American Urban Radio Network reporter as she departed the White House press briefing.
The food fight started on Thanksgiving Day when Sanders posted a picture of a chocolate pecan pie she had just baked.

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

The two women went back and forth on Twitter. Ryan deemed the incident “PieGate” and demanded Sanders post additional photos of the pie to prove it was at her family’s house and not store bought. Ryan said she wouldn’t eat a pie Sanders had cooked because she didn’t trust what was in the pie.
Sanders did not share what the two will discuss during their meeting Thursday.
