CNN anchor in the dark on nonbinary ex-Biden official Sam Brinton
 [NYPOST] CNN...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for... anchor Pamela Brown insisted she knows absolutely nothing about Sam Brinton, the infamous, nonbinary former Biden administration official who was famously charged with multiple thefts of suitcases filled with women's clothing from airports. Brinton first made headlines in mid-2022 after being appointed to lead nuclear waste policy at the Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Nuclear Energy as a nonbinary gender-fluid person who uses they/them pronouns. Brinton stayed in the news as the luggage theft scandal played out, but Brown apparently missed the entire ordeal. During a heated segment on Tuesday, Brown said the Trump administration was ''trying to claw back several employees who oversaw nuclear weapons,'' when Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., reminded her about Brinton. ''You talk about nuclear secrets, you had a person who was in charge of nuclear secrets, a man, who dressed up as a woman, would go into the airport and steal women's luggage, was overseeing those nuclear secrets under the Biden administration and I never heard y'all say a peep about that,'' Burchett said. Brown shot back, ''I don't know anything about that, I'll be transparent.'' Burchett told the CNN anchor she should ''look up'' the Brinton story. Brown might be in the dark because CNN largely ignored the Brinton story, publishing an online story headlined ''Top Energy Department official no longer employed after luggage theft accusations,'' in December 2022. The story was covered on-air by CNN only once, according to a search of Brinton's name via Grabien Media, when a December 2022 report on ''The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer'' downplayed his ties to Biden. ''Several House Republican politicians jumped on the case to claim this incident in the case of the Biden administration prioritized wokeness over competence hiring Brinton in the first place. But we should note, Brinton was not a Biden appointee instead hired as a senior civil service official,'' CNN's Jeremy Diamond told viewers.
