Former Republican National Committee (RNC) spokesman Doug Heye tore into Chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel on Saturday over her statement on Steve Wynn's resignation.

Heye called McDaniel's statement "weak sauce" in a tweet, after she issued a statement on Wynn's decision to resign from the committee after sexual assault allegations against him emerged this week.

"The RNC chair’s statement re Wynn is the very definition of 'weak sauce,' " Heye said in a tweet.

"I was tougher on the committee when the finance dept had a dumb PowerPoint comparing Harry Reid Harry Mason ReidDemocrats fear Russia interference could spoil bid to retake Senate Graham signals support for confirming a Supreme Court nominee this year Trump signals he will move to replace Ginsburg 'without delay' MORE to Scooby-Doo," he continued.

Wynn tendered his resignation on Saturday after The Wall Street Journal on Friday detailed allegations against the hotel mogul going back decades.

McDaniel on Saturday issued the RNC's first response to the matter since the reports surfaced.

"Today I accepted Steve Wynn’s resignation as Republican National Committee Finance Chair," the statement said.

The statement does not mention the allegations against Wynn or the money he has donated to the RNC.

Democrats have noted that Republicans were quick to call out Democratic lawmakers and say that the party should return donations from filmmaker Harvey Weinstein when a wave of sexual misconduct allegations emerged against him in the fall.
