Fox News personality Bill Hemmer was ridiculed online after warning that Bible characters will be "canceled."
"I tell you, if they start canceling these American presidents, they're going to come after Bible characters next," Hemmer predicted. "Mark my words."
People did mark his words, here's some of what people were saying:
