The Biden administration relieved nuclear official Sam Brinton from duty this week after the non-binary employee was charged with stealing luggage from two different airports.
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

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.

From Fox News:
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 in Minneapolis Airport in September and another in 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 $4000 of clothing, jewelry and make-up.
