California Democrats could face an unexpected setback in one of the state’s newly redrawn congressional districts, where early results show the party’s leading candidate sitting narrowly in third place and at risk of missing the general election ballot entirely.

As of early Wednesday morning, Rep. Kevin Kiley, who changed his party registration from Republican to independent earlier this year but continues to caucus with Republicans, was leading the 6th District primary with 27.1% of the vote.

Republican Michael Stansfield was in second place with 21.9%, while Democratic candidate Dr. Richard Pan.

This is what authorities would call a “repeat offender.”

Sam Brinton, the controversial Energy Department official who made waves for dressing in drag and boasting online about his puppy role-play fetish, is accused of stealing luggage from another airport.

According to The Daily Caller, a felony arrest warrant has been issued for Brinton in connection with a second alleged theft at an airport in Las Vegas.

Las Vegas-based news outlet 8 News Now reports:

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — An energy department official is accused of stealing luggage from Harry Reid International Airport, the 8 News Now Investigators learned Thursday.

A felony warrant was issued for Sam Brinton, a deputy assistant secretary, sources said. The charge is for grand larceny with a value between $1,200 and $5,000, records showed.

Last month, Brinton was arrested in connection with another luggage theft from St. Paul Minneapolis airport.

As American Liberty News previously reported:

Sam Brinton, a senior Energy Department official who identifies as non-binary, allegedly took a Vera Bradley suitcase worth $2,325 from the luggage carousel according to a criminal complaint filed on Oct. 26 in Minnesota state court and obtained by Fox News.

According to the court filing, after the suitcase’s owner alerted police, officers reviewed video surveillance of the carousel and identified Brinton taking the luggage before removing its tag identifying the owner. Law enforcement also observed Brinton using the luggage during at least two other trips to Washington, D.C., on Sept. 18 and Oct. 9.

Brinton was ultimately charged with felony theft of a movable property without consent, a charge that could result in a five-year sentence, a $10,000 fine, or both.

Brinton was placed on leave from the Energy Department in October.

    What makes this jackass, sam brinton, think that he’s (she’s) entitled to steal someone else’s luggage from an airport?? And why in God’s name did the DISHONORABLE AND DEMENTED “president” joke biden hire him/her as deputy secretary of energy to begin with??

    I wonder who taught this dog how to fetch fashion forward suitcases? Send it to the dog pound. And someone tell Joe to stop trying to adopt these beasts.

    Ironic, I only had to see a picture of the guy to know he had issues, but he fit Bidens “diversity” agenda, which now includes felon.
