Naomi Wolf says the country is 'moving into
a coup situation, a police state' due to all
of the coronavirus restrictions.
Wolf made her
comments on the same day the U.S. surpassed
500,000 deaths since the start of the
pandemic.
'Whether they are on
the left or the right, they do these same 10
things and now we're at something I never thought I
would see in my lifetime ... it is step 10 and that is
when you start to be a police state, and we're here.
'There is no way
around it.'

Wolf repeatedly
bemoaned what she views as a suspension of the
constitution in favor of pandemic measures.
She said, 'Lockdowns
have never been done in society and really, we are
turning into a of totalitarian state before
everyone's eyes.'
'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,' Wolf said.
She said 'there is no
real science underlying a lot of these closures.'
Science does show that
mass gatherings, particularly indoors, increases the
likelihood of virus spread, which is the point of
lockdown measures.
Nevertheless, she
compared the country's restrictions to Italian
fascism and said 'a lot of us are kind of in culture
shock' about what is happening across the United
States.
While she fears
Biden's policies, Wolf had particular reservations
for the job New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is doing
so far.
'I know from history
nobody gives up emergency powers' Wolf said about
Cuomo, who has continuously extended those powers
during the pandemic.
Interestingly, state
lawmakers are considering a bill to strip those
powers from Cuomo, largely as a result from the
nursing home scandal currently plaguing his
administration.
Wolf claimed nothing
about the Consitution allows it to be ignored during
hard times, such as during a deadly pandemic.
'I really hope we wake
up quickly because history also shows that it's a
small window in which people can fight back before
it is too dangerous to fight back.'
While Wolf's comments
are controversial, she is no stranger to being in
hot water.
During George W.
Bush's presidency, Wolf claimed that his
administration was plotting a secret fascist
takeover of the United States.
In 2019, Wolf learned
during a live radio interview that critical facts in
her book 'Outrages' were incorrect.
While she acknowledged
the error, she continued to hold true to the thesis
behind her book.
There is evidence that the Biden
administration is turning the tide in the fight
of the coronavirus pandemic.
