On Saturday Arizona Democrat Party Chairman Felicia Rotellini claimed that President Donald Trump "has aligned himself with ISIS."
These remarks were made by Rotellini at the Citizens Clean Elections Commission’s “We the Voters” conference. This was held at the Phoenix Convention Center.
Her timing couldn't have been worse. This event was held an hour before the White House announced the death of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
“Another reason that people are going to vote, because Donald Trump is manipulating that White House and has aligned himself with ISIS and Saudi Arabia,” Rotellini said before she was cut off by Arizona Republican Party Chairman Dr. Kelli Ward.

“The most important thing we can do today is vote for civility, vote for a president who is not going to align himself with the most dangerous foreign nations that are the reason we had 9/11," Rotellini continued.
Arizona Republican Party Chairman Dr. Kelli Ward cut her of fand blasted he remarks calling them “wildly irresponsible and not rooted in reality.”
Per Daily Wire:
It is extremely disconcerting to hear the top Democrat in Arizona slander and malign an innocent person for being aligned with the world’s most evil terrorists, let alone the President of the United States. While fear-mongering from the Left is expected up to a point, we have to draw the line somewhere if they’re going to refuse to police themselves. Baseless statements like those made by the chair of the Arizona Democrat party are wildly irresponsible and not rooted in reality.
On Sunday after this event, President Trump announced that ISIS founder and leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi "died like a dog, died like a coward."
