Arlene Foster has told Q Radio that Sinn Fein's "respect agenda is in tatters" after the decision to suspend Barry McElduff for three months.
West Tyrone's MP has been under pressure to resign after tweeting a video with a Kingsmill loaf on his head on the anniversary of the Kingsmill Massacre.
The DUP Leader says the "so-called sanction" is far short of what many people were expecting:
Sinn Fein leader Michelle O'Neill met with Mr McElduff earlier.
She said: "I made it clear to Barry that his tweet was ill-judged, indefensible and caused hurt and pain to the victims of Kingsmill. That it falls far short of the standard expected of Sinn Fein representatives and our members.
"Barry has again apologised for the unintended hurt which his tweet caused. He deeply regrets making such a post, and he accepts he has made an error of judgement.
"I don't believe that Barry's actions were calculated or deliberately intended to be malicious"
