Former QAnon Supporter Apologizes For Accusing CNN Host Anderson Cooper Of Eating Babies
A former QAnon follower has apologized to Anderson Cooper after believing the group’s conspiracy theories, which accused the CNN host of eating babies and drinking blood.
During the Saturday airing of the CNN special “Inside the QAnon Conspiracy,” former QAnon follower Jitarth Jadeja opened up to the 53-year-old television journalist about why he was convinced the conspiracy theories were true.
“Did you, at the time, believe that Democrats, high-level Democrats, and celebrities were worshipping Satan, drinking the blood of children?” Cooper asked.
Jadeja revealed that Cooper was one of the early names mentioned and that Cooper was thought to have participated in the acts.
“Anderson, I thought you did that,” Jadeja said. “And I would like to apologize for that right now. So, I apologize for thinking that you ate babies. But, yeah, 100%.”
Jadeja claimed QAnon leaders share various conspiracies and loyal followers believe the theories despite the lack of evidence.
“I at one stage believed that QAnon was part of military intelligence, which is what [Q] says,” Jadeja explained.
“But on top of that, that the people behind him were actually a group of fifth-dimensional, intradimensional, extraterrestrial bipedal bird aliens called blue aliens.”
Jadeja admitted he would pick and choose which theories he would believe. “I was so far down in this conspiracy black hole that I was essentially picking and choosing whatever narrative that I wanted to believe in,” he said.
Cooper noted that some of the QAnon theories would specifically target journalists like himself.
“The QAnon fringe has previously focused on me and a bunch of other reporters, as well as many other public figures, as somehow being responsible for some of their more outlandish, should we say, and bizarre, conspiracy theories,” Cooper said.
Cooper noted that QAnon supporters continue to believe the lies.
Since 2017, QAnon has spread baseless conspiracy theories such as accusing public figures of being Satan-worshipping pedophiles and painting former President Donald Trump as a savior, who began a secret war to stop the cabal.
