CBS has parted ways with one of the company’s top lawyers after she said she is “not even sympathetic” to victims of the Las Vegas shooting because “country music fans often are Republican,” when discussing the tragic mass shooting that occurred in Las Vegas late Sunday night.

“This individual, who was with us for approximately one year, violated the standards of our company and is no longer an employee of CBS. Her views as expressed on social media are deeply unacceptable to all of us at CBS. Our hearts go out to the victims in Las Vegas and their families,” a CBS spokeswoman told Fox News.

Hayley Geftman-Gold, the network's now-former vice president and senior counsel, took to Facebook after a gunman opened fire at the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival in Las Vegas, killing at least 58 people and sending more than 500 others to hospitals.

“If they wouldn’t do anything when children were murdered I have no hope that Repugs [sic] will ever do the right thing,” Geftman-Gold wrote in a now-deleted message that was first reported and captured by The Daily Caller.

Geftman-Gold continued: “I’m actually not even sympathetic bc [sic] country music fans often are Republican gun toters [sic].”

Geftman-Gold is presumably referring to Sandy Hook, which occurred in Newtown, Conn. back in 2012. A 20-year-old gunman, Adam Lanza, killed 20 children and six adults during the tragic event that sparked intense political debates regarding gun control.

Geftman-Gold did not work directly with the network’s news division. According to her LinkedIn bio, Geftman-Gold worked at CBS since September 2016 and graduated from the prestigious Columbia University law school in 2000.

She skipped the course on "How To Keep Your Stupid Liberal Opinions To Yourself".

I'm guessing she won't be moving to Nashville.

If she knows what's good for her,she will stay in NYC,where she is safe,and avoid America altogether.

Hard to know what gets into people, using a sad occasion to demonstrate a personal bias, but then perhaps her name says it all, comes out of privilege and has no understanding of the real world and real people

Hayley and Ryan Geftman-Gold are probably too attached to their current synagogue to move away from NYC. I wonder how many shekels they had to chip in to be Masons?

Hayley Geftman-Gold

So if she is murdered should we be sad for her and her family?

Why are you asking?

Has someone threatened to kill her?
