Fox News host mocked after claiming ‘Bible characters’ will face cancel culture

A Fox News host has warned that Bible characters could soon become the next targets of cancel culture – a statement people have since mocked online.

"I tell you, if they start canceling these American presidents, they're going to come after Bible characters next," Bill Hemmer said during a Fox News segment about "cancel culture"

"Mark my words, right?" he added.

The statement came in response to a Chicago committee reviewing the names of more than 500 statues, sculptures, and other public historical landmarks to see if any should be renamed. Included in the review was five statues of President Abraham Lincoln.
