Called a ‘handsome devil’ by his colleagues as he donned a tux for Trump’s inaugural events, Jennings has been married since 2010 and has 4 sons: Everett, Winston, Thatcher and Harlan

CNN’s conservative pundit Scott Jennings generated some buzz for a different reason this weekend as he made his way around Washington attending Donald Trump’s inaugural events this past weekend. Commonly known as the “black sheep” of the liberal-leaning TV network, Jennings wore a tuxedo on air on Saturday, wowing viewers tuning in. Even his fellow guest, Democratic Party strategist Paul Begala, joked that the long-time pundit was a “handsome devil”.
Previously, Jennings had nothing but good things to say about Trump’s defence secretary pick Pete Hegseth, praising him on CNN for his “calm, cool, collected” handling of interrogation from the Democrats at his confirmation hearing.

The military veteran was badgered with questions about the sexual misconduct allegations against him, his infidelity, and past comments about women being unsuitable for combat roles in the military, but Jennings described the inquisition as “unseemly mudslinging”. Hegseth appears to have emerged unscathed, with not a single Republican standing in the way of his appointment, reports the BBC.
