   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."
