Doug Mastriano made no mention of voter fraud as he declared victory in Pennsylvania's Republican primary for governor last month.

“God is good,” a smiling Mastriano told cheering supporters.

His silence on the matter comes after he spearheaded a state Senate hearing in which witnesses — including former Trump campaign attorneys Jenna Ellis and Rudy Giuliani — aired false claims about mass voter fraud. Mastriano also was outside the U.S. Capitol when a mob of Trump supporters stormed the building during the deadly 2021 insurrection. And he later tried to bring a partisan election audit to Pennsylvania before he was stripped of his committee chairmanship by his own party.

The Mastriano campaign declined to respond to a question about the apparent double standard.

Of course, the phenomenon extends well beyond Pennsylvania.
