Lara Logan, a war correspondent turned conspiracy theorist, went on a QAnon-inspired rant on Newsmax.

She accused world leaders of dining on the blood of children and making people eat insects.

Newsmax said in a statement that it has "no plans to interview her again."

The right-wing news outlet Newsmax has cut ties with former war correspondent turned conspiracy theorist Lara Logan after she gave a bizarre QAnon-inspired rant on air, the company said in a statement.

The Guardian reported that Logan told Newsmax host Eric Bolling that world leaders "dine on the blood of children," referring to the blood libel conspiracy theory that proliferates in QAnon circles.

QAnon is a baseless far-right conspiracy theory that claims former President Donald Trump is secretly fighting a "deep state" cabal of satanic pedophiles and cannibals.

During her on-air rant, The Hill reported that Logan also said: "God believes in sovereignty and national identity and the sanctity of family, and all the things that we've lived with from the beginning of time. And he knows that the open border is Satan's way of taking control of the world through all of these people who are his stooges and his servants.

"And they may think that they're going to become gods. That's what they tell us. You know, the ones who want us eating insects, cockroaches, and that while they dine on the blood of children? Those are the people, right? They're not going to win."

Newsmax, in a statement to The Hill on Friday, said it "condemns in the strongest terms the reprehensible statements made by Lara Logan."

The news outlet said that it has "no plans to interview her again."

Logan, 51, who was once Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent for CBS News, left the network after her 2012 report on the Benghazi attack was retracted after an internal review found that key elements of the story were untrue.

Since then, Logan has advanced right-wing conspiracy theories, including comparing Dr. Anthony Fauci, America's top infectious disease expert, to the notorious Nazi doctor Josef Mengele.

She has also linked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to "satanic, occult" practices while praising Russian President Vladimir Putin and baselessly claimed that Charles Darwin was employed by the Jewish Rothschild banking family to create his theory of evolution.
