Against the backdrop of multi-city protests after Donald Trump was elected 45th President of the United States, satire site The Babylon Bee published a 10 November 2016 item claiming: The piece was not meant to be taken literally, but some didn't get the joke. Readers who scrolled down to the bottom of the article could view a disclaimer displayed across the Babylon Bee web site, identifying its material as entirely satirical: While The Babylon Bee's articles are typically understood to be humorous, previous reports (for example, that imprisoned abortion provider Kermit Gosnell was a Democratic National Convention speaker, that the Elevation Church had introduced a baptismal waterslide, or that Joel Osteen had apologized for using the name Jesus in a sermon — and was horrified to learn of his crucifixion) have also caused social media confusion.
