Sam Brinton, a Biden administration nuclear official, made
headlines this week after they were arrested for allegedly
stealing a woman�s suitcase in Minneapolis airport � and then
using it for a month before claiming it was taken by accident.

But it isn�t the first time the 35-year-old nuclear engineer has
made the news.

Brinton, who uses they/them pronouns, became one of the federal
government�s first gender non-binary officials earlier this year
when they took on a role in the Department of Energy�s Office of
Nuclear Energy.

So who is Sam Brinton � and what path did they take to get in
the Biden administration?

Southern Baptist background

Brinton was born in Iowa to Southern Baptist missionary parents
who moved the family from place to place.

They told Yahoo Life last month that they came out as bisexual
to their parents in high school � and was quickly put into a
conversion therapy program for two years in a bid to change
their sexual identity.

�It caused a lot of suicidal ideation in my life,� Brinton told
the outlet.

�It did a lot of damage to both me and my family because my
family was given the false hope that I could just flip a switch,
and change when I would recognize that I wasn�t changing.�

Their experience spurred them to launch the #50Bills50States
campaign with The Trevor Project, a LGBTQ youth organization, to
try and ban conversion therapy nationwide.

�We passed more than 20 laws ending conversion therapy,
protecting future generations from ever having to go through
what I went through,� Brinton said.

It was around this time that Brinton decided to start pursuing
nuclear engineering.

From nuclear engineer to government official

Brinton obtained their undergraduate degree in mechanical
engineering with a nuclear engineering focus from Kansas State
University before going on to the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology to receive graduate degrees in nuclear science and
engineering.

Before taking up the government job, Brinton spent several years
working for liberal and environmentalist think tanks � including
the Breakthrough Institute, Clean Air Task Force and Third Way.

They were named deputy assistant secretary for spent fuel and
waste disposition at the Department of Energy�s Office of
Nuclear Energy back in June.

Brinton celebrated the new gig by posting a photo on social
media that showed them wearing a red jumpsuit, bright lipstick
and Stars and Stripes-clad stilettos.

In their role, Brinton manages �ongoing research and development
related to long-term disposition of spent nuclear fuel and high-
level radioactive waste,� according to their official government
bio page.

Views on gender identity

Brinton opened up on becoming the first openly genderfluid
person in government service, telling Yahoo Life that they had
been given an opportunity to �serve my country as I am.�

�I can�t change my identity more than anyone can change
intrinsic parts about themselves, but I can change my openness,�
they said.

�And so I am given the opportunity to serve my country as I am,
and that�s a really important aspect of my work because I work
on nuclear waste management, where transparency and honesty and
trust-building are so critical.�

They added: �So if I can�t be myself, it�s really hard to build
those relationships. I�m proud to say that, yes, I get to be the
first openly genderfluid person in this type of government
service, but I won�t be the last.�

The suitcase
Brinton�s arrest for the alleged theft came just months after
they took up the federal government gig.

They are accused of snatching a $2,325 Vera Bradley suitcase
from baggage claim at Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport back on Sept.
16, court documents say.

When Brinton was confronted by police nearly a month later, they
initially denied stealing the bag � insisting their clothes were
inside the suitcase at the time.

But Brinton quickly backtracked and claimed they had taken the
piece of luggage by mistake.

Brinton told police they first realized the bag wasn�t theirs
when they opened it at the hotel. They got nervous that someone
would think they stole it, so they emptied out the suitcase and
dumped the woman�s clothes in the drawers of the hotel room, the
court documents say.

Surveillance footage showed Brinton allegedly grabbing the
luggage from the carousel and removing the ID tag identifying
the owner. Brinton was later captured on surveillance using the
same suitcase on at least two trips to Washington, DC, on Sept.
18 and Oct. 9, according to authorities.

The Biden official was charged with felony theft of a moveable
property without consent.

Giving important government positions to people like this prove
that Biden is more interested in LGBTQ votes and money than
doing what is right for the United States. This person is not
suitable to hold any public office. He is an affront to
seriousness of holding public office. He might as well be an
alcoholic who cannot control himself. He belongs in therapy and
not in holding high government office.

Well he looks like some guy who shaved his head and put on
lipstick and ear rings.
