Donald Trump wasted no time on Sunday ripping Debbie Wasserman Schultz for her decision to resign as chairwoman of the DNC.

“Today proves what I have always known, that @Reince Priebus is the tough one and the smart one, not Debbie Wasserman Shultz (@DWStweets),” he tweeted shortly after the news broke, misspelling her last name.


Trump didn’t stop there: “I always said that Debbie Wasserman Schultz was overrated. The Dems convention is cracking up and Bernie is exhausted, no energy left!”

Amid fallout from the hack and leak of thousands of internal DNC emails, Wasserman Schultz issued a statement announcing her intent to step down as chairwoman at the close of this week’s Democratic National Convention. The Florida congresswoman said she would open and close the convention, as well as speak to delegates about what’s at stake in this election.

In the lead-up to the Democrats’ convention in Philadelphia this week, Trump has been hitting various figures in the party. He continues to push his belief that last week’s Republican National Convention in Cleveland, where he formally accepted the party’s nomination, was “one of the best produced, including the incredible stage & set, in the history of conventions.”

Many Republicans, including those in the Trump campaign, have taken to mocking a tweet that Wasserman Schultz sent six days ago, in which she mocked RNC Chairman Reince Priebus’ handling of his own party’s convention.

She had tweeted at Priebus that she was “in Cleveland if you need another chair to help keep your convention in order.

Debbie- you should check back with a great Chairman (@Reince.) Looks like you need the help keeping things in order! https://t.co/xm3f2JmIzX — Dan Scavino Jr. (@DanScavino) July 24, 2016

The RNC issued its own response to Wasserman Schultz’s resignation, saying the Democratic Party is “in disarray prior to convention,” citing a number of news reports detailing the announcement.

Priebus, in a press conference Sunday, said he thought Wasserman Schultz's departure was "inevitable."

"I know firsthand how hard it is being chair of a national party, but when you rig a system and you know you spread emails around with each other and senior staff in that manner, I think this kind of outcome is inevitable," he said. "And there was no way out, and I think obviously the end has come and I don't think there was any other outcome that was foreseeable."

He also said that starting the week out this way, with a whole convention ahead of them, is "no way to keep something together."

"I think that today's events show I think really what an uphill climb the Democrats are facing this week in unifying their party and starting out the week by losing your party chairman over longstanding bitterness between factions is no way to keep something together," he said.
