America is becoming a “totalitarian state before our eyes” under Joe Biden’s leadership, author and former Clinton administration adviser Naomi Wolf told “Tucker Carlson Tonight” Monday.
Wolf, who served as an adviser on Bill Clinton’s reelection campaign in 1996, told host Tucker Carlson that in her view, the United States is swiftly “moving into a coup situation, a police state” as a result of Biden’s ongoing coronavirus-related economic shutdowns.
Wolf added that she believes the orders are being improperly extended under the “guise of a real medical pandemic.”
“That is not a partisan thing,” she told Carlson. “That transcends everything that you and I might disagree or agree on. That should bring together left and right to protect our Constitution.”
Wolf has ramped up her warnings against extended lockdowns on Twitter in recent months. In November, the author wrote on Twitter that Biden’s openness to reinstating additional shutdowns made her question her decision to vote for him.
If I’d known Biden was open to ‘lockdowns’ as he now states, which is something historically unprecedented in any pandemic, and a terrifying practice, one that won’t ever end because elites love it, I would never have voted for him.

“The state has now crushed businesses, kept us from gathering in free assembly to worship as the First Amendment provides, is invading our bodies … which is a violation of the Fourth Amendment, restricting movement, fining us in New York state … the violations go on and on,” she said.
The outspoken liberal, who previously authored a book outlining the ten steps that “would-be tyrants always take when they want to close down a democracy,” believes the United States is heading toward what she refers to as “step 10.”
“Whether they are on the left or the right, they do these same ten things,” Wolf explained, “and now we’re at something I never thought I would see in my lifetime … it is step 10 and that is the suspension of the rule of law and that is when you start to be a police state, and we’re here. There is no way around it.”
Wolf said she has interviewed U.S. citizens of various backgrounds and political affiliations who are in a state of “shock and horror” as “autocratic tyrants at the state and now the national level are creating this kind of merger of corporate power and government power, which is really characteristic of totalism fascism in the ’20’s,” she told Carlson.

"Nowhere in the Constitution does it say 'all this' can be suspended if there's a bad disease."

Wolf called America’s overall response to the coronavirus pandemic “completely unprecedented,” arguing that “lockdowns have never been done in society and really, we are turning into a totalitarian state before everyone’s eyes.”
