"Who?" Walt hears you ask. And "So what?" Well... Brinton -- no "Mr" or "Ms" for this person -- is in charge of the DOE's nuclear waste disposal program. They (their preferred pronoun) was appointed in June at the tender age of 35, making them, making them the most prominent "gender-fluid" person in the Brandon administration.
"Why is they on leave?", Walt hears you ask. Because they has been charged with stealing, from the Minneapolist-St Paul airport baggage claims area, of a Vera Bradley suitcase which, including its contents, was worth $2325.
A criminal complaint filed on 27 October alleges that the theft occurred on September 16th. Police were alerted by a woman that her suitcase was missing from a carousel in the baggage claim area. The cops now say that Brinton then took the tag from the suitcase, put the tag in a handbag and then left with the case "at a quick pace". (Notice they didn't say "mincing".)
Brinton, who had not checked in a suitcase when flying from DCA to MSP, took the case to the InterContinental hotel, and then returned to Washington with it two days later. They allegedly took the case on a trip to Europe a few days later. Police eventually telephoned the diversity hire, who initially denied doing anything wrong.
Later, they admitted taking the case, but said it contained "my clothes when I opened the bag." They went on to say that it would have been "“weirder" to leave a bag than the clothes at the hotel. They have not yet commented publicly. And Walt certainly has no comment about the Alphabet people or diversity hiring or anything non-PC.
Footnote: Oh... You were wondering about the backdrop to the photo? Brinton was attending the premiere of Conversion, a movie which, according to its website, is "a story of survival and hope, [which] follows five survivors as they shed light on the secretive and often deadly practices of conversion therapy." Rush right out to your local cinema.
