Hayley Geftman-Gold took to Facebook last night to write that she was 'not even sympathetic' to those killed or wounded because 'country music fans often are Republican.'
Geftman-Gold was promptly fired from her job as vice president and senior counsel at CBS.
The network said Monday that Geftman-Gold had violated the company's standards by expressing deeply unacceptable views.
After a gunman opened fire at the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival in Las Vegas on Sunday and killed at least 58 people and sent more than 500 to the hospital she went on Facebook to say she didn't feel bad for the victims.

'If they wouldn't do anything when children were murdered I have no hope that Repugs (sic) will ever do the right thing,' she wrote in a post that was captured by the Daily Caller but has now been deleted.
'I'm actually not even sympathetic bc (sic) country music fans often are Republican gun toters (sic).'
She appeared to be referring to the lack of gun control legislation passed after the mass shooting at the Sandy Hook elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut in December 2012.
The tragedy, in which 20-year-old gunman Adam Lanza entered the elementary school and opened fire, killing 20 children and six adults, sparked intense political debates about gun control.
Geftman-Gold didn't work with the network's news division, and when the network was made aware of the comment she was fired.
Her LinkedIn profile says she had worked there since September 2016, and graduated from Columbia Law in 2000.
