(CNN Business) Republican congressman Adam Kinzinger has a message about the QAnon conspiracy theory : It is a fabrication that must be denounced by political leaders in his own party. The congressman released a YouTube video about QAnon on Sunday and elaborated on his views during Sunday's "Reliable Sources" telecast. Kinzinger urged people who "believe in this conspiracy theory stuff" to "do some independent research." Some Trump aides have flirted with the conspiracy theory and the president himself has retweeted accounts with QAnon language. He spoke respectfully about people that embrace, or get fooled by, conspiracy theories, even ones like QAnon that depict fellow Americans as satanists and pedophiles.
