2016 Al Smith Dinner

Featured behind the podium, Bartiromo wore an extremely revealing dress, which Dailymail said "stole the show" from the candidates. The incident was met with sexist humor. Rush Limbaugh joked that everyone else looked like they were wearing a corset. He added that the "rackage on display" was not constrained by a corset. Chris Stigall humorously posted an online image of Clinton with the backdrop of Bartiromo's outfit. Stigal also tweeted that @MariaBartiromo won the debate. Greg Gutfeld tweeted three times about Bartiromo and her scandalous outfit. Will Gant argued that such a revealing outfit was best suited for the Golden Globes.
