(CNN) - The Republican nominee for a US House seat in Illinois has said the September 11 terrorist attacks were an inside job and that singer Beyonce Knowles has ties to the Illuminati.

Bill Fawell is running against incumbent Democratic Rep. Cheri Bustos in Illinois' 17th District, where she won by 20 points in 2016 even though the district also voted narrowly for Donald Trump. Fawell won his uncontested primary in March. He has not reported any fundraising to the Federal Election Commission, per publicly available records.

A KFile review reveals Fawell, a real estate broker, pushed conspiracy theories in blogs and his 2012 book, "New American Revolution."

In his book, Fawell pushed a conspiracy theory that 7 World Trade Center collapsed as part of a controlled demolition and the attacks were a plot to destroy documents.

1. Funny as this is, it is also inevitable...

For someone from our side to be exposed as a conspiracy nut.

I am content though seeing the right-winger nutcases exposed, and watch them lose.

2. I am not now, nor have I ever been, a conspiracy nut

But I do recognize a galaxy of republican bullshit, lies, mendacity, and coverup when I see it. That is known around the world as Facing the Facts.

where these nut jobs come from. Or why they are so delusional. I just don't get it.

7. I now Cheri.

She is an excellent state rep.

Is this guy part of the Fawell family that is prominent in Illinois state politics? I knew some of them when I was growing up. My dad despised them. Scott Fawell went to high school with my brother. Scot Fawell went to jail, taking a a fall for Governor Ryan, then turning on Ryan when he finance was threatened with jail. The Fawells are repiggies, but not this crazy.
