Former QAnon follower apologizes to Anderson Cooper for believing the CNN anchor was a robot "drinking the blood of children"

On Friday night, Cooper previewed his two-hour CNN special Inside the QAnon Conspiracy, premiering Saturday at 9 p.m. ET. “This is also something of a personal project,” Cooper explained, “as the QAnon fringe was 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 conspiracies.” Cooper then showed a brief clip of a former QAnon member. “Did you, at the time, believe that Democrats, high-level Democrats and celebrities were worshipping Satan, drinking the blood of children?” Cooper asked the former QAnon believer, Australian Jitarth Jadeja. “Anderson, I thought you did that,” Jadeja sheepishly admitted. “And I would like to apologize for that right now, so I apologize for thinking that you ate babies. But, yeah, 100%.”
