April Ryan went on an unhinged twitter rant Saturday against Mike Huckabee.
The feud started after Huckabee called out Ryan for inciting violence against his daughter Sarah Sanders by suggesting her head be “lopped off.”

Ryan responded by claiming Huckabee will not go to heaven and trying to portray herself as the victim.
Will you get into heaven? The answer is no! https://t.co/oUpSVVbLx2

Ryan then claimed both Mike Huckabee and Sarah are “liars.”
You and your daughter are liars and Why is she getting paid to be press secretary if there are no briefings. Why is she afraid? https://t.co/oUpSVVbLx2

Ryan then tried to make herself the victim, even though she was the one calling for the beheading.
As I thank God this day and for his sacrifice as you should be doing, I have a warning for you! If anything happens to me or mine or anyone connected to me, you and your daughter and this administration will be held accountable! So you better stop now! https://t.co/oUpSVVbLx2

Finally Ryan claimed Huckabee made a “veiled threat” against her.
You sir need to sit down. You gave me a veiled threat not long ago. You call yourself a man of God? Boy bye! As your people come for me! My people see you and will do the same for you! https://t.co/M72QQACjqV

Per BPR,the “veiled threat” to be “gutted like a deer” took place in 2017 when Ryan had wondered aloud if a pie Sanders brought in was an effort to poison her. She also speculated that Sanders did not bake the pie herself.
At the time, Huckabee laughingly commented on Fox Business: “Let me tell you something, she’s been making this pie for years … makes them for friends. But here’s the warning that I would issue. Stuart, don’t ever and I mean don’t ever mess with a Southern woman and her homemade pies. It is as dangerous as when you hear a Southern woman begin her sentence with ‘bless your heart.’ It means you’re about to be gutted like a deer and just don’t know it.”
Many Twitter users were not impressed with April Ryan.

You should go back and do Easter all over again. You seem to have missed the point.”
