Story highlights Jeff Weaver addressed comments DNC chairwoman made to CNN

"Debbie Wasserman Schultz really is the exception," Weaver said

Washington (CNN) Bernie Sanders' campaign manager slammed Debbie Wasserman Schultz on Wednesday after she told CNN the Vermont senator did not do enough to condemn his supporters' behavior at the party's Nevada convention.

"We can have a long conversation about Debbie Wasserman Schultz just about how she's been throwing shade on the Sanders campaign from the very beginning," Jeff Weaver told CNN's Chris Cuomo on "New Day" about the Democratic National Committee chairwoman.

"It's not the DNC. By and large, people in the DNC have been good to us. Debbie Wasserman Schultz really is the exception," Weaver added.

Asked about Weaver's "throwing shade" comment Wednesday afternoon, Wasserman Schultz brushed off the comments.

"My response to that is hashtag SMH (shake my head)," Wasserman Schultz told CNN's Wolf Blitzer. "We need to focus on one thing: get through this primary and work to prepare for the general election and make sure that we can continue to draw the contrasts between either one of our really fine candidates who are focused on helping people reach the middle class and make sure that we get equal pay for equal work and create jobs and not let the Republicans take health care away from 20 million Americans."
