Sarah Palin divided NewsNation viewers after wearing a revealing outfit on Chris Cuomo’s eponymous show, “Cuomo Town Hall,” this week.
The former Alaska governor, 60, also raised eyebrows by showing off two tattoos on her wrist.
The controversy began when Palin took the stage alongside Bill O’Reilly to discuss whether gender would play a role in the 2024 presidential election.
The glamorous Going Rogue author turned heads in a pair of black knee-high leather boots and a short black minidress with a plunging neckline.
Her outfit choice angered some NewsNation viewers, with some accusing John McCain’s former running mate of dressing inappropriately.

“Her outfit was an absolute disgrace and disgrace,” one person wrote.
“I think the men were uncomfortable, and she definitely was. She was trying to cover up and hide the exposure. Shameful.”
Another added, “I’ve always defended Sarah but I was shocked when I saw her outfit!!! WRONG for the occasion!!! Did she think she was going on a blind date???”
Despite the negative reactions, Palin also had plenty of supporters in the comments.
“I forgot about the outfit, she looks amazing! She’s 60 now and whatever she’s done is subtle,” one person wrote.
“She looks amazing! Don’t be so cheesy,” another added, while another wrote, “Palin looks great as always.”
Palin also sparked a conversation about what appear to be two small tattoos on her wrist.
The alleged ink drawings were brought up by political commentator Dave Smith, who debated Palin on an episode of Piers Morgan Uncensored earlier this week.

Reflecting on the debate on his eponymous podcast the next day, a bewildered Smith said, “She had a tattoo on her hand that I saw at one point.”
He added, “Do you have a tattoo? Really? Sarah Palin?”
His co-host, Robbie Bernstein, responded, “I think she’s divorced now and partying. I think she’s doing something completely new.”

When confronted with polls showing that men overwhelmingly voted for Donald Trump, while women voted for Kamala Harris, Palin had an interesting angle.
“I think poles are great for strippers and cross-country skiers, but not for much else!” she said.
The Alaska politician and her 31-year-old husband Todd Palin finalized their divorce in 2020.
Todd filed in 2019, stating “the parties’ temperaments were so incompatible that they found it impossible to live together as husband and wife.”
Palin later found love with legendary ex-NHL star Ron Duguay, with whom she has been in a relationship since 2021.
