Sam Brinton, who first gained attention for being “gender fluid” and getting a job in the Biden administration at the U.S. Department of Energy, made headlines once more after being accused of felony luggage theft at the Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport.
Brinton revealed on Twitter in June that he had earlier in the year been appointed as the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Energy Department’s Office of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition.
“It’s official. As of June 19th, I now serve my nation as the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition in the Office of Nuclear Energy in the Department of Energy,” Brinton tweeted.

In the Twitter thread, Brinton stated, “As one of if not the very first openly genderfluid individuals in federal government leadership, I was welcomed with open arms into the Department of Energy all the way up to the Secretary whom I shared the stage with in a Pride month celebration panel just today.”
But goodness is this a time for celebration! It’s really really official! The beautiful irony that the months-long process of getting me into this role culminated in a Pride month start date is not lost on me.

Brinton has experience as a “non-binary drag queen” and is a transgender activist. According to the Daily Mail, she is particularly connected to the Order of Perpetual Indulgence, “a non-profit group who dress up as nuns to raise awareness of sexual intolerance and transphobia.”
However, a woman complained that her suitcase was missing on September 16 at the MSP airport when she tried to pick it up at baggage claim, according to Alpha News.
Police investigated security footage that allegedly showed Brinton taking the bag, pulling off the luggage tag, and then returning to the airport with the bag two days later.
More on this story via the Western Journal:
Later, surveillance video also reportedly showed Brinton with the bag yet again on Oct. 9 at the Dulles International Airport in Virginia, Alpha News reported.
The woman to whom the bag originally belonged to, claimed that the bag and her belonging in it were worth over $2,000, Alpha News noted.
According to Alpha News’ reporting, the police asked Brinton about the bag and he admitted that he had taken it but that his clothes were in it. CONTINUE READING…
