Lara Logan, a former reporter for CBS News' "60 Minutes" who has since become a far-right conspiracy theorist whose views were too extreme for Fox News and Newsmax, has been falsely claiming that actor Mark Wahlberg believes in the QAnon conspiracy theory.

As documented by BBC journalist Shayan Sardarizadeh, Logan this week promoted a story from a notorious fake news website that falsely claimed that Wahlberg recently claimed that Hollywood was filled with "blood drinking pedophiles" whom he was personally working to bring down.

"We are hunting these evil sons of b*tches down and taking them out, one blood drinking pedophile at a time," reads one fake Wahlberg quote in the story.

Sardarizadeh added that "the image of Mark Wahlberg in the fabricated story by The People's Voice is from a 2017 video of him speaking at a church in Chicago" and that "a representative for Wahlberg" said that "the actor had never made the statements attributed to him in the article."

The QAnon conspiracy theory states that Hollywood and the Democratic Party are both global Satanist pedophile rings that harvest children for their adrenochrome.

QAnon believers have maintained faith in the conspiracy theories despite the fact that its predictions -- including a 2017 prediction that Hillary Clinton's arrest for running a pedophile ring was imminent -- have never once come true.
