Hume received a very important lesson in screenshots and cropping Tuesday morning after his screen grab of “Election Betting Odds” revealed his apparent interest in purchasing a “Sexy Vixen Vinyl” outfit.
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.
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.
“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.
