An official for the Department of Housing and Urban Development called a reporter “Miss Piggy” during a nasty beef that played out on social media Wednesday.

Lynne Patton, who was an event planner before taking the government job, issued the insult during a vicious Twitter spat with American Urban Radio’s April Ryan.

“I hear #MissPiggys still on a rampage,” read the since-deleted tweet by Patton over an unflattering image of Ryan. “Gee, I must’ve struck a nerve.”

Patton — a longtime Trump family friend — had earlier tweeted numerous gifs at Ryan with captions referring to the reporter as a “bankrupt blogger.”

Ryan, who has endured multiple bouts with White House officials, took a shot at Patton for her lackluster resume.

“Do you work at HUD or play at it you washed up wedding planner,” Ryan tweeted at the HUD official.

After deleting the “Miss Piggy” tweet, Patton posted a statement.

“I deleted my last tweet by choice,” she wrote.

“No one from this Administration contacted me. It was beneath me & I apologize to @AprilDRyan. My parents raised me to respect others & I regret my response. I apologize to them, @SecretaryCarson & the Trump family. They deserved better.”
