Sarah Huckabee Sanders Humbles Pie-gate Skeptics

Sarah Huckabee Sanders humbled "Pie-gate" skeptics by bringing four pies to the White House Press Corps' annual holiday potluck on Thursday.

The White House press secretary's baking skills were questioned by American Urban Radio Network reporter April Ryan when Sanders posted a picture of a chocolate pecan pie she made for Thanksgiving, USA Today reported.

Ryan and others questioned on social media if Sanders had actually baked the pie, spurring the hashtag #Piegate on Twitter.

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
