A former QAnon supporter has told Anderson Cooper that he apologizes "for thinking you ate babies."

On Friday, the anchor of the CNN news broadcast "Anderson Cooper 360°" shared a clip of a special report on the conspiracy theory which will air on the network on Saturday night.

The short video features a man named Jitarth Jadeja who was a QAnon "believer until June 2019."

"Did you, at the time, believe that Democrats, high-level Democrats and celebrities were worshipping Satan, drinking the blood of children?" the 53-year-old broadcaster asked Jadeja.

"Anderson, I thought you did that," he responded.

"And I would like to apologize for that right now. So, I apologize for thinking that you ate babies But, yeah, 100%," added Jadeja, who lives in Sydney, Australia, according to a Oct. 2020 interview with The Washington Post.

His direct answer seemed to surprise Cooper, who wanted to make sure he understood what Jadeja was saying.

"You actually believed that I was drinking the blood of children?," he asked.

"Yes, I did," Jadeja answered without hesitation.

Cooper pressed on, wanting to know if there was something about himself that made Jadeja feel that way.

"Q specifically mentioned you, and mentioned you very early on. He mentioned you by name … he also talked about, for example, your family."

It's unclear what specifically about Cooper's family Jadeja was referring to. However, the award-winning journalist is an openly gay man, a prominent LGBTQ rights activist, and the proud father of a baby boy, who was born in April via a surrogate

"I'm going to be honest, people still talk about that to his day" — as recently as four days ago, he continued, adding that some QAnon followers believe that Cooper is a robot.

"I at one stage believed that QAnon was part of military intelligence, which is what he says. But on top of that, that the people behind him were actually a group of fifth-dimensional, intradimensional, extraterrestrial bipedal bird aliens called Blue Avians," he told Cooper via video call.

"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 added.

"Inside the QAnon Conspiracy" airs on CNN Saturday at 9 p.m. ET.

I still cannot fathom how anyone could fall into that darkness in the first place. I don't think I could get high enough to not only open my mind to that sort of shit, but actually believe it. I mean, the conspiracy theories are so fucking bat shit that even a bad acid trip wouldn't be sufficient to explain how they came about.

I have to tell myself that they know they are full of shit and are somehow in it for the money. My brain cannot accept the fact that a person is this stupid and not insanely high or severely brain damaged.

It's a pretty weird thing to genuinely believe that a person eats babies or drinks their blood.

Dude, it isn't weird, it is insane. For real, can you read any of their shit and honestly say to yourself "well, maybe..." ?

I mean be totally honest, you don't owe these people anything, they don't know who you are, there are no consequences of any kind. Is the QAnon stuff straight out of the mind of a madman?

Dude, it isn't weird, it is insane.

You want to argue over the negative adjective I chose? Honestly?

you don't owe these people anything, they don't know who you are, there are no consequences of any kind

And suggesting that I might think that is pretty dumb. Almost as dumb as thinking people eat babies.

Please, gentlemen, let's not fight about this.  I think we're actually all in agreement here.  Some are just more emphatic in their agreement than others.

I have just cleaned up the thread of the various nasty comments. This better stop or big tickets will be handed out.

These people live among us.
