WATCH: CPAC attendees surround Jim Acosta and chant 'CNN sucks!'

According to a report from the New York Times, the Illinois Republican Party's plan to put a candidate in place that they feel can beat Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) in November is going down in flames due to Donald Trump and his supporters.

As the Times' Reid Epstein reports, more than $50 million dollars was involved to make Mayor Richard C. Irvin of Aurora the nominee and now it looks like -- due to the former president and his rabid followers, -- they will be saddled with previously little known state Sen. Darren Bailey (R) who once proposed kicking Chicago out of Illinois.

Fox News host Brian Kilmeade took a shot at former President Donald Trump for his "unhinged" lies about the 2020 presidential election.

While speaking about the Jan. 6 hearings, Kilmeade recalled his interactions with Trump following the last presidential election.

According to the new book, "Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words," the Supreme Court justice admits that he was surprised as anyone when he was picked by former President George H.W. Bush to fill an open seat on the court in 1991.

Business Insider is reporting that in the book, edited by Michael Pack and Mark Paoletta, Thomas sat down with Pack for "over 30 hours between November 2017 and March 2018" to discuss his career on the nation's highest court.
