Welcome to the 678th original “Crazy/Stupid Republican of the Day” profile, where today, we’ll be profiling Bill Fawell, who in November, is the Republican challenger vying to unseat incumbent Democratic Congresswoman Cheri Bustos, who represents Illinois’ 17th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives. Falwell ran as a Libertarian write-in candidate in 2014, earning himself a whopping 16 votes, and instead decided to give his latest Congressional run as a Republican in September of 2017. His only obstacle in the GOP Primary was Mark Kleine, who withdrew from the race in January of 2018, leaving Fawell alone to clash with Rep. Bustos in November.
And then… CNN’s K-File did some research about Bill Fawell, and learned interesting details like that he’s a 9-11 Truther, and that on his blog a few years back, he called on people to boycott watching the Super Bowl because Beyonce would be the halftime show performer, and that she had ties to the Illuminati.
That should be enough to make him un-electable, but we’ll add he also theorized that former First Lady Michelle Obama was a man, Hillary Clinton campaign operative Tony Podesta wore red shoes, and is therefore a Satanist, and that the Deep State would destroy all of New York City in a false flag operation as justification to go to war. Fawell also has stated his belief that Donald Trump can “restore the Judeo-Christian ethos of Western Civilization to America.” (which is an amazing thought about one of the most immoral people alive), and after CNN reported on all this and asked him for comment, Fawell stood by his theories and added that Taylor Swift also espoused support for the Illuminati in her videos.
Somehow, this only places Fawell perhaps in the Top Five Kookiest Republicans running for Congress in 2018.
