Ex-RNC spokesman: 'Steve Wynn has got to go'

Source: The Hill

Doug Heye, a former spokesman for the Republican National Committee (RNC), is calling for Casino mogul Steve Wynn to be ousted as the RNC's finance chairman after sexual misconduct allegations surfaced against him Friday.

In a tweet, Heye said the allegations against Wynn, the CEO of Wynn Resorts, appeared to be "a lot worse" than past scandals that roiled the RNC and led to a number of ousters.




Heye's comments came on the heels of a Wall Street Journal report detailing allegations against Wynn that span decades. Wynn has denied the allegations, which he said were instigated by his ex-wife.

The fallout for Wynn mounted throughout the day Friday, with stock prices for Wynn Resorts plummeting.

to look at. The plastic surgery he has had makes him look like an alien species. These old dudes with their Viagra, fake teeth, glued on hair .... an abomination.

There is nothing wrong with aging gracefully. When people resort to extreme means to cling to youth it often ends up quite tragic.

They're getting rid of Steve Wynn because of "sexual misconduct allegations." These allegations date back decades.

But they're keeping Trump.

The GOP needs to make a very hard choice: do they expel everyone who has had credible sexual misconduct allegations lodged against him - which would mean they'd have to kick Trump to the curb...or do they tell women, "don't bring this forward because we aren't going to do anything"?
