It would be nice if someone, anyone associated with the U.S. Department of Energy could just concede, “This was not a good hire. We screwed up, and we will scrutinize applicants for positions like this more closely in the future.” The Biden administration has not said anything about Brinton, insisting that Brinton was not an administration appointee. …
That Yahoo Life headline back in February 2022 declared, “New Biden Dept. of Energy hire is a nonbinary drag queen — ‘an asset,’ say queer activists.” Well, no, that didn’t turn out to be true; Sam Brinton was more of a liability than an asset. It would be preferable if someone in our government could just come out and say so, instead of averting their eyes and pretending not to notice.
[Who says they’re averting their eyes? The media isn’t bothering to demand accountability, so there’s no incentive to provide it. — Ed]
