'Non-binary' Biden official mocked after being fired for alleged luggage theft: 'New pronouns are un/employed'

Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., blasted Biden administration for prioritizing 
'wokeness over competence'

Conservatives on Twitter roasted former Department of Energy deputy 
assistant secretary for spent fuel and waste disposition Sam Brinton after 
the official was fired by the U.S. government for reportedly stealing 
airport luggage on multiple occasions.

Brinton, a biological male who gained notoriety for being one of the U.S. 
government’s first "non-binary" officials, was charged with stealing a 
woman’s suitcase at Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport in 
September and another at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas in 
July.

One of the bags that Brinton was seen on surveillance footage stealing 
from the Las Vegas baggage claim, contained nearly $4,000 of clothing, 
jewelry and makeup.

After news of the charges went viral, a Department of Energy spokesperson 
told The Daily Beast, "Sam Brinton is no longer a DOE employee. By law, 
the Department of Energy cannot comment further on personnel matters."

Despite Brinton identifying as non-binary, a detective described the 
official as "a white male adult wearing a white T-shirt with a large 
rainbow-colored atomic nuclear symbol design" in the Las Vegas 
Metropolitan Police Department warrant. 

Twitter users found the end of Brinton’s DOE career amusing, joking that 
the former government worker hit a new milestone: "the first non-binary 
person fired by the U.S. government for theft."

The Libs of TikTok account posted some of Brinton’s most over-the-top and 
avant-garde photos paired with a sarcastic caption. The account tweeted, 
"Sam Brinton, Biden’s non-binary nuclear waste guru, has been fired after 
stealing luggage from 2 airports. If only there had been some warning 
signs…"

Conservative author Dinesh D’Souza mocked Brinton, tweeting, "Is 
#SamBrinton the first non-binary official to be fired by the US government 
for theft? Since we’re keeping track of these amazing historical ‘firsts,’ 
I thought I would inquire about this one."

The Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh offered an interesting analysis, writing, "One 
thing Sam Brinton proves is that our anti-bullying campaigns are 
misguided. We teach people to treat bizarre, freakish behavior as normal 
in the name of tolerance, as a result guys like Brinton feel increasingly 
empowered to act on their depraved compulsions without shame."

Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., offered his sober analysis of the ouster, 
tweeting, "Re. Sam Brinton, let's call it what it is: a person clearly 
unfit for a high-level national security role was hired because the Admin 
prioritizes wokeness over competence."

Author and conservative personality Nick Adams dinged Brinton, quipping, 
"I’m hearing Sam Brinton’s new pronouns are un/employed."

ACT for America founder Brigitte Gabriel said, "Sam Brinton should have 
never been hired in the first place."

The Blaze CEO Tyler Cardon mocked Brinton, stating, "Sam Brinton is the 
first openly gender-fluid kleptomaniac in federal government leadership. 
Another historic accomplishment for the most inclusive admin in US 
history."

And former Trump adviser Katrina Pierson tweeted, "FINALLY! ‘Biden's non-
binary nuclear waste worker Sam Brinton is OUT of their job.’ I wonder 
exactly where he crossed the line for this Admin."
