Tucker Carlson said that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris would force people to drink Starbucks coffee every day.

With a history of making "non-literal commentary", Carlson used the Starbucks example as an analogy for the Democratic party favoring corporates.

With a history of making "non-literal commentary", Carlson used the Starbucks example as an analogy for the Democratic party favoring corporates. During the Tucker Carlson Tonight show, journalist Tucker Carlson on Nov 6, 2020, hypothesized how America would be under the leadership of president-elect Joe Biden and vice president-elect, Kamala Harris. He claimed that Democrats talk about diversity, but seek absolute sameness and total uniformity under their leadership. He compared being governed by the Democrats to being forced to have a cup of Starbucks coffee everyday and not being able to visit a local corner coffee shop. He used the Starbucks example as an analogy for democratic ideology. Comparing him with so-called anti-establishment figures Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders, Carlson said Biden stands for “corporate values” and does not allow dissent.

However, it is uncertain as to what he's referring to with the analogy, and the basis of his comparison remains unclear. But Carlson has a history of making exaggerated claims on his show. NPR has earlier reported that Fox News's own lawyers have claimed not all his commentary is factual in defending Carlson against accusations of slander. U.S. District Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil's opinion, leaning heavily on the arguments of Fox's lawyers said "the 'general tenor' of the show should then inform a viewer that [Carlson] is not 'stating actual facts' about the topics he discusses and is instead engaging in 'exaggeration' and 'non-literal commentary.'"

"Fox persuasively argues, that given Mr. Carlson's reputation, any reasonable viewer 'arrive[s] with an appropriate amount of skepticism' about the statement he makes," Judge Vyskocil further wrote.
