The senior political analyst eventually became aware of his mistake and deleted his original tweet before posting an updated, cropped screenshot around three hours later.

However, netizens already had their own screenshots of his blunder and quickly got #SexyVixenVinyl trending. Some even questioned if the outfit was for his wife, himself or possibly a gift for someone else.

I know a quick google search could answer this question, but I’m more interested in your explanations.

Others used the opportunity to remind fellow netizens of Hume’s comments on the abrupt departure from Fox News of then-chairman and CEO Roger Ailes in 2016 following allegations of sexual harassment and misconduct reported by several female employees of the network.
The fact that Rupert Murdoch himself has taken charge at Fox News is a sign of how much the company values what Roger Ailes built.
— Brit Hume (@brithume) July 21, 2016
“To people like myself who have worked with Roger Ailes at Fox News from the start, today's announcement is heartbreaking,” Hume said in a 2016 tweet, referencing Ailes’ resignation.
while we're all justifiably dunking on brit hume, a reminder that he led the parade of people defending serial sexual assaulter roger ailes, who was his boss for years and who hired him away from abc where he sort of used to do real journalism to be a right wing shill at fox pic.twitter.com/XKMFAagyws

Although it’s fun to make fun of Brit Hume for leaving his sexy vixen vinyl porn search tab open in a screenshot he took to share nonsense election stats...
— Ricky Davila (@TheRickyDavila) March 3, 2020
Don’t forget that he organized a group of people to defend serial sexual assaulter roger ailes, his ex boss at Fox.
Brit Hume’s Sexy Vixen Vinyl is trending. I don't care what he looks at online - but I do care very much that he, like Trump, defended Serial sexual predator Roger Ailes and both showed sympathy for him but NOT for the women Ailes abused. https://t.co/phXrKkA2HF
