In the recording, posted on Twitter by the Maricopa County Democratic Party, Adel talks about being surprised about the breed of one of her dogs after doing a DNA test.

"And apparently he's 80 percent Pomeranian, but in this day and age when you can self-select your gender, I'm saying he's an American Eskimo," Adel jokes in the recording, an apparent reference to transgender and non-binary people.

Edder Diaz-Martinez, the county Democrats' communications director, said the recording is from a private fundraiser in July and the organization was sent it anonymously. He said they edited out around an additional 15 seconds from the clip they received that were not relevant.

Wow, so many levels of wrong.
