RNC finance chairman Steve Wynn resigns, on the heels of allegations that he's a serial rapist

Alleged scumbag

According to reports from Politico, the Republican National Congress’s finance chairman, Steve Wynn has resigned from his position. This comes a day after reports surfaced in the Wall Street Journal that Wynn was the subject of numerous allegations of sexual assault and harassment by former employees. Numerous. Wynn has denied the allegations, and it seemed unclear whether or not he would step down from his position; and with the content of the national Republican character these days, that “ambiguity” was genuine. But according to Politico, someone with the tiniest shred of decency seems to have prevailed upon Wynn to step aside, and leave the sexual assault allegations to our current commander in chief.

Las Vegas casino mogul Steve Wynn on Saturday stepped down as Republican National Committee finance chairman, according to three senior Republicans briefed on the decision.

"Today I accepted Steve Wynn’s resignation as Republican National Committee finance chair," said RNC chair Ronna Romney McDaniel, who spoke about the Wynn situation with the president on Saturday morning, according to a person with knowledge of the conversation. Trump returned from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Friday evening.

Good riddance.
