Witch joins QAnon to find children on 'SNL': 'This underground cabal, what's the deal?'

“Saturday Night Live” cast member Kate McKinnon transformed into a witch who became a follower of the QAnon conspiracy theory to try to find children in one of the show’s latest sketches taking aim at the far-right movement.

McKinnon appears as the witch, who initially pretends to be an Ohio woman named Stephanie Green, during the show’s “Weekend Update” segment.

“That’s right. A normal girl. I work in an office for business, coffee, pencils — the whole nine,” she says.

“And you’re a member of QAnon?” co-host Colin Jost asks her.

“Oh, big time. Yes! Q all the way,” she responds with a pointed finger.

Jost presses the witch about QAnon and some the baseless conspiracy theories that have emerged out of the movement.

“QAnon says that there is an underground ring of very bad people. They gather to undermine [former President] Trump and to steal elections and to eat children," she responds. "I hear that and I’m like, ‘Woah, where?’”

According to The New York Times, QAnon falsely claims that a group of Satan-worshipping pedophiles, comprised partly of top Democrats and celebrities, controls the world.

“Yeah, well it’s a very disturbing theory. So, what do you do with QAnon?” Jost asks the witch.

“Yes, we try to get to the bottom of things. This underground cabal, what’s the deal? Who’s part of it? How do you get an invite? Is it reservations or is it open table? Are there enough children to go around? Do you eat them on site or do you take them home? Are there dipping sauces?” she responds.

“Yeah, It sounds like you’re pretty focused on the eating children part of QAnon,” Jost continues.

“Yes. Oh, it’s terrible. I gotta get down there to stop ‘em. I will grab those children right out of their mouths … and take them to my house. My house is made of candy. It’s in the woods, and then I’ll eat them. I mean, I’ll kill them. How am I doing?” she asks to laughs from the audience.

“Not great. No. Yeah, I’m getting the feeling that you don’t want to help children,” Jost replies.

“No, no, no, no, no. I love children, all kinds. Girls, boys, barbecue, sour cream and onion, cool ranch,” she goes on to add.

“Yeah, I think you want to eat ‘em,” Jost tells McKinnon’s witch, “Like maybe that you’re only in QAnon to find out where that’s happening.”

“Why? Do you know?” she then asks Jost. “You’re a Hollywood elite, yes? Is there an email chain?”

Jost and the witch eventually start to express doubt about her chances of finding children through the movement.

“I’m starting to get worried it isn’t real," she says with apparent concern, "I’m starting to feel that maybe the whole thing is cuckoo bananas.”

The witch also later comes out with her true identity.

"My name is Grismelda. I live in a candy house in New Hampshire. I roast and eat whole children, but, Colin, these people — these people are weird," she adds with both her hands raised.
