Using the X platform (formerly known as Twitter), Arizona Rep. Andy Biggs highlighted what he perceives as election-related hypocrisy in the United States following former President Donald Trump's fourth indictment for his scrutiny of the 2020 election outcome. In his post, he included a 2017 statement by Rep. Nancy Pelosi questioning the legitimacy of the election.

"Donald Trump has been indicted for questioning the validity of an election," Biggs tweeted. "If this is the standard, when can we expect Democrat indictments?"

Trump has faced his fourth indictment, this instance occurring in Georgia, the Washington Post reported. He stands accused of allegedly orchestrating an effort to overturn President Joe Biden's 2020 victory in the state, facing a total of 13 counts that include "conspiring to commit forgery in the first degree" and "conspiring to file false documents." The indictment is the culmination of an investigation, which took over two years, conducted by Fulton County District Attorney Fani T. Willis. Additionally, 18 others have been charged, including Trump's attorney, Rudy Giuliani, and his former White House chief of staff, Mark Meadows. 

Just two weeks ago, Trump faced his third indictment, which resulted from his alleged connection to the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, following the 2020 election outcome. Trump continues to claim his innocence, while his supporters argue that the indictments are a deliberate attempt to obstruct his potential return to the presidency. Earlier this year, Trump was also indicted for falsifying business records and for mishandling sensitive documents, according to PBS News.

"It’s simple," said Republican Nominee for Arizona Attorney General Abe Hamadeh, according to platform X. "Our country will not survive this continuous assault on the rule of law. Any suggestion that the party needs to abandon Trump to make it all go away would only reward the Democrats' destructive behavior. It’s time for Republicans to unite behind President Trump."
