Bernie Sanders’ campaign manager said that he “think(s) someone else could play a more positive role” as chair of the Democratic National Committee than Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

Jeff Weaver — who spoke to Fox News and CNN on Wednesday — was asked about reports of pressure to get rid of Wasserman Schultz as head of the party. On CNN’s At This Hour, Weaver was asked point blank if he wanted her out. He didn’t outright say that he did, saying “I’m trying to be diplomatic."

But Weaver did accuse Wasserman Schultz of being “unfair in many respects.”

“I just think that there’s been a pattern of conduct which calls into question whether she can really be the kind of unifying force that we really need,” Weaver said. “I think someone else could play a more positive role.”

On CNN, Weaver pointed to the debate schedules which had been set up by the DNC — many Democratic debates were over the weekend and the party held fewer than did the Republicans. Weaver also cited the DNC's decision to suspend Sanders' voter database in December.

On Fox & Friends Wednesday, Weaver said, “I do feel certainly that the process has not been fair as administered by Debbie Wasserman Schultz.”

"I just think she became personally involved in this. Beyond politics, I think it became very personal for her and you know she has lashed out at the campaign, as I said on a number of occasions, these joint fundraising agreements which took money from state parties and gave it to the DNC. Or the latest, the standing committees that the convention where they tried to keep the Sanders people off,” Weaver said.

“There’s just been example after example, and I think it has become sort of personal and I think it’s really unfortunate because, really, Democrats should be working together after the convention, that’s for sure.”

The Sanders campaign has been openly critical of Wasserman Schultz and has endorsed and fundraised for her her primary challenger — Tim Canova.

Later Wednesday on CNN, former secretary of State Hillary Clinton's communication director, Brian Fallon, questioned the Sanders campaign's criticism of the chair.

“To be honest I don’t understand many of the criticisms that Bernie Sanders has made," Fallon said. He then listed off some of the issues he's heard Sanders and his campaign discuss in relation to Wasserman Schultz. "I'm not sure Debbie Wasserman Schulz bears any of the culpability for it."

"From our viewpoint, Debbie Wasserman Schultz is a very dedicated leader for our party. There is nobody more committed to her, nobody more committed than her to making sure that Donald Trump is not the president in 2016 in November when we have the general election," Fallon said.
