Jemaine Clement had the best response to a former QAnon supporter’s crazy apology
When vocal QAnon supporters were among the crowds that mounted the fatal assault on the Capitol Building on the 6th of January, it brought the bizarre conspiracy theory to the fore.
The ‘Q’ in question is an anonymous 4Chan user, who has convinced the terminally gullible that Donald Trump has been waging a secret war against allegedly paedophile Democrat politicians and left-leaning celebrities.
One former believer faced CNN’s Anderson Cooper, to offer what must be the strangest apology ever to appear on a factual programme.
Watch the whole thing.

Even before we get to the intradimensional bird aliens, this is objectively way off the sanity scale. There were a lot of reactions, including these:
Apology ACCEPTED!! 😃 https://t.co/Onipx1JMgM

I do hope Hallmark makes an “I’m sorry I thought you ate babies” card. https://t.co/Opuu0rXiNq

Jemaine Clement, however, dialled it up a notch.
K sure, but why would a robot need to eat babies! https://t.co/Hx2y4tKFYR

Actor and comedian, Sanjeev Bhaskar had some mitigation to share.
C’mon it’s an apology that all of us have made at some point

We also have to take our hats off to this beautiful dad joke from director, Duncan Jones.
From what i understand they soak the babies in salt water, then slice them into thin sticks, dry them in paper towel before frying them up and serving them with vinegar.
Because robots, Jemaine, love…
