Doing a deep dive on personnel that work in positions of trust is very important. Those of us over the age of, say, 25 know the truth of this. The superior egomaniacs in the Biden Administration never learned this lesson. To prove their beyond compare social awareness, they have hit every intersection of intersectionality. No deep dives were done on Sam Brinton, deputy assistant secretary of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition in the Office of Nuclear Energy in the Biden Administration. No one even stuck a manicured and polished toe in the water to see if Brinton had anything untoward in his closet. He has given a whole new, dark meaning to “Who are you wearing?”

The Bidenites have made an administration that is an absurd farce of a joke. They brag about a hiree’s sexual proclivities rather than “xere” competencies. The results are Karine Jean-Pierre, Pete Buttigieg and Sam Brinton. In the New York Post, Kirsten Fleming wrote: “Sam Brinton is a cautionary tale for woke world that prizes identity above all.”

Last June, Sam Brinton, who identifies as nonbinary and wears dresses and stilettos, was tapped by the Department of Energy to be the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition.
It was touted as historic — Brinton being the first gender-fluid person in federal leadership.
However, within months, the hire backfired, causing a self-inflicted toxic spill all over the department and the Biden Administration.
Turns out, the 35-year-old gender bender was not a dutiful bureaucrat, but a perfectly formed “Curb Your Enthusiasm” plotline. Less hilarious? It was also a cautionary tale about the perils of championing identify over everything else.
Because, among their many quirks, it would seem that Brinton also steals suitcases.

In October, they were charged with allegedly nicking a woman’s bag from Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport. In December, they were arrested for snatching another lady’s luggage from a Las Vegas airport. That same month, a DEO spokesperson said that Brinton “is no longer a DOE employee.”
Then, this week, a bombshell dropped on Twitter courtesy of Tanzanian fashion designer Asya Khamsin, whose suitcase, filled with her original designs, went missing in March 2018. Khamsin spotted photos of Brinton posing in her unique and ornate dresses — and provided side-by-side images of herself and Brinton looking like a bizarre version of “Who Wore it Best.”

Cautionary tale or lack of vetting, it’s the same thing. November of 2022, our Nina wrote an article about Sam Brinton being charged with luggage. In the video accompanying her post, Sam Brinton was wearing one of Asya Khamsin’s original designs. Can you say chutzpah? If only there had been a fashion correspondent to ask “Who are you wearing?”

Let’s hear from Miss Khamsin and her husband:

We can answer the question “Who wore it better?” It wasn’t Sam Brinton. It’s not just the raw theft. It’s the arrogance to wear the designs in public daring someone to catch him. I believe all thieves really want to get caught. He wore the custom designs everywhere and was featured in Vanity Fair:

Far from a deep dive or polished toe in the water for vetting, there have been rumors about Sam Brinton for eons. From the New York Post again:

Long before Brinton was unmasked for terrorizing luggage carousels, the Iowa native became a vocal activist against gay conversion therapy. Brinton claimed to have been physically abused by their father, a strict Baptist, and forced to attend a conversion camp.
Gay activist Wayne Beson raised concerns as far back as 2011 because Brinton was evasive when pressed for details — particularly, the name of their conversion therapist and the facility where the so-called therapy occurred.

“Why was Sam Brinton the only survivor of conversion therapy I’ve encountered since 1998 who refused to answer these questions?” Beson wrote.
Just last week, Brinton’s family spoke to The Post denying the tales of abuse.
“There’s no validity to those claims,” Brinton’s sister, Rachel, said. “First of all, the claims of conversion therapy never happened, nor did my parents abuse my brother or I … It’s disheartening because my parents are still being slandered for the past decade because some people believed Samuel’s words.”

So this human has some weird sexual proclivities, an odd biography and, sorry not sorry, a mental illness (non-binary). Would have been a big HALE NO for me. He met the intersectionality test and so was a good fit for the Biden Administration. A Confederacy of Cuckoos. By the way, “Who are YOU wearing, darling?”.
