(Joshua Paladino, Headline USA) In what was widely criticized as another misguided decision, President Joe Biden early this year appointed Sam Brinton, a “gender-fluid” drag queen and “pupply play” enthusiast, to serve as the Energy Department‘s deputy assistant secretary for spent fuel and waste disposition.
Shortly after Brinton’s appointment, an anonymous whistleblower in the Energy Department wrote a letter to the Office of Personnel Management’s Deputy Inspector General, Norbert E. Vint, according to the Gateway Pundit.
In the letter, the whistleblower—a self-described “long-serving public servant at the U.S. Department of Energy—stated that there were “substantial irregularities in the recruitment and selection processes” for the position.
The whistleblower requested an “immediate investigation.”

The DOE employee said that the Senior Executive Service failed to meet “merit-based requirements…in the selection of Samuel Brinton over other more highly qualified candidates.”
The whistleblower listed several violations during the recruitment process, including “obstructing competition by unfairly chilling open and fair consideration of other
candidates for the position” and “coercing political activity to further social-political preferences and beliefs.”
Around the same time that the whistleblower’s letter became public, the National Pulse found a 2015 article by Brinton in which he defended a gay prostitution website, Rentboy.com, that featured underage boys, Western Journal reported.
Brinton argued that federal agents should not have raided the company’s offices and shuttered the website, even if Rentboy broke the law by acting as a sexual marketplace, including for children and teenagers.
A rentboy refers to a boy who sells his body to an older man.
“Rentboy.com may or may not have broken the law,” he wrote. “I don’t know.”
Then he defended gay prostitution, calling it “survival sex” and denouncing “irresponsible and archaic views of sex work.”
“For some, working as a paid escort through Rentboy has been a lifeline out of homelessness, despair, and the dangers of living on the street,” he wrote.
