Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson accused President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris of promoting "total uniformity," saying that life under their administration would be like "drinking Starbucks every day from now until forever."
During a segment of the Tucker Carlson Tonight show on Friday, the Fox News host claimed that the Biden administration "demands obedience" and doesn't "believe in dissent." He cited no evidence to substantiate the claim.
"Diversity, which is to say legitimate differences between people, is the last thing they want. Diversity? It's a cruel joke. They must mean it ironically. These people seek absolute sameness, total uniformity," Tucker said.

"You're happy with your corner coffee shop. They want to make you drink Starbucks every day from now until forever no matter how it tastes, that's the future they promise. Everyone doing the same thing," he said, according to the video.
