If you missed out on #Piegate, April Ryan, the press corps troll from the Urban Radio Networks, decided to accuse White House press secretary Sarah Sanders of lying about baking a pie.
And thus #Piegate was born.
#Piegate is another act in the politics of personal destruction that's being unleashed by the media against Sanders, the way it was formerly used against Spicer. What's striking is not just the malice, but the pettiness. #Piegate is as petty as it gets. It makes it clear that this isn't about grand causes. It's about malice and spite.
Lefty politics are ultimately reducible to the lowest possible common denominator of Mean Girls spite. Their supposed attempts at satire are nothing more than high school with big budgets, big egos and an even bigger hatred. But underneath, it's all #Piegate.
