Why is fraud only bad to the republicans, if it can fit their "off the rails" narrative?

Well Dr. Oz, can you please tell us how much of the "north of 100,000,000,000" involve healthcare
fraud from individuals trump sold a pardon? How about how much came from large corporations
who are contributors to trump, and other republican's political campaigns? Also how much
of that fraud involves republican politicians directly? For instance:
Rick Scott's company, Columbia/HCA, was involved in the largest health care fraud case in U.S.
history, resulting in a total settlement of $1.7 billion for Medicare and Medicaid fraud. He resigned
as CEO in 1997 amid the federal investigation into the company's practices.

“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.” That line—written by Frank Wilhoit—has become a popular aphorism to sum up the hypocrisy and moral bankruptcy of the modern Republican Party.
