Beyond Sam Brinton, the Biden-Harris administration’s Energy Department has embraced the rainbow with a DEI-determined official bent on “queering nuclear weapons.”
From topless alphabet activists parading on the White House lawn to an alleged suitcase-swiping, “genderfluid” former deputy assistant secretary for the Office of Nuclear Energy, the current occupants of the White House have remained steadfast in putting ideology at the fore.
This included the Feb. 2024 appointment of Sneha Nair as special assistant to the National Nuclear Security Administration who decried alleged “white supremacy” in her field while pushing for the embrace of Marxist ideologies, according to a review of her work by Fox News.
“Finally, Queer Theory informs the struggle for nuclear justice and disarmament,” wrote Nair in a 2023 paper while serving as a research analyst with the Nuclear Security Program at the Stimson Center, a nonprofit that received funds from the U.S. State Department, United Nations, Lockheed Martin, as well as the governments of numerous foreign nations and George Soros’ Open Society Foundations.
“Queer Theory helps to shift the perception of nuclear weapons as instruments for security by telling the hidden stories of displacement, illness, and trauma caused by their production and testing,” she went on while arguing DEI “is essential for creating effective nuclear policy.”
In April 2023 she contended, “By understanding DEI as a set of values critical to security, and therefore as an element of an effective nuclear security culture, stakeholders can explore how DEI can contribute to stronger security at nuclear facilities.”
“Collectively, these principles (of DEI) can work to mitigate counterproductive work behavior and prevent disgruntled employees from becoming insider threats,” Nair went on. “DEI principles and advancement must be considered crucial assets for strengthening nuclear security implementation.”
In furthering diversity, the then-research analyst promoted, “U.S. government reports show that qualified applicants with foreign ties have been discouraged from applying to sensitive national security positions and faced barriers to obtaining a security clearance. This is in part due to preconceived confirmation biases held by investigators about certain racial or ethnic groups.”
“Considerable progress has been made in advancing DEI in the nuclear field, but the largest obstacle remains in ensuring that nuclear security practitioners understand how DEI can serve as a tool to strengthen nuclear security,” she argued. “Greater focus on the intersections between nuclear security and DEI is essential.”
Meanwhile, as the Biden-Harris administration’s efforts have paved the way for Iran to draw closer to possession of a nuclear weapon, Nair had also written extensively about the concern of “domestic violent extremist groups and homegrown violent ideologies” while calling for a change to nuclear security norms.

She specifically referenced the “insurrection” at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, as she voiced concern about “flaws in a system designed to weed out unsuitable candidates for sensitive work protecting nuclear materials, weapons, facilities, technology, and personnel.”
“An example of this is the threat posed by some White supremacist groups to nuclear facilities may go undetected if a White-majority workforce does not perceive these ideological leanings as indicators of a relevant nuclear security threat,” Fox News cited Nair as writing.
Her continued push for Queer Theory had her arguing, “The queer lens prioritizes the rights and well-being of people over the abstract idea of national security, and it challenges the mainstream understanding of nuclear weapons–questioning whether they truly deter nuclear war, stabilize geopolitics, and reduce the likelihood of conventional war.”
