White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was simply trying to share her amateur cooking skills to the public, but she did not expect it to go from Instagram-friendly photo to a new Twitter phenomenon called “#PIEGATE.”
During the Thanksgiving weekend, Sanders shared a photo of her so-called home-made pecan pie. She even said in the caption that she did not have time to cook “much these days, but managed” to squeeze in a perfectly made “Chocolate Pecan Pie” “at the family farm.”
There would have been no problem of her sharing her masterpiece if not for the quality of the photo.
According to Los Angeles Times, the pie was photographed against a white background with some blurs around it. Users as well as journalists wanted to see it in a more “realistic setting” and not in some plain background that made it look more like a stock photo you can download from the web.
