CNN’s Anderson Cooper received an apology from a man who once believed in the far-right QAnon conspiracy theory.
During the program “Inside the QAnon Conspiracy,” former QAnon supporter Jitarth Jadeja wanted to apologize to Cooper after he believed in the conspiracy theory that the CNN host ate babies.
Jadeja, who was part of the QAnon movement until 2019, appeared on the program where Cooper asked various questions to understand how people get swept under these baseless theories.
“Did you at the time believe that high-level Democrats and celebrities were worshipping Satan? Drinking the blood of children?” Cooper asked.
“Anderson, I thought you did that, and I would like to apologize for that right now. So, I apologize for thinking that you ate babies,” Jadeja said.
“You actually believed that I was drinking the blood of children? Was it something about me that made you think that?” Cooper asked.
“It’s because Q specifically mentioned you, and he mentioned you very early on,” Jadeja said. “He mentioned you by name, and from there — he also talked about, like, for example, like, your family.” “People still talk about that to this day. There were posts about that just four days ago. Some people thought you were a robot.”
