(full article title: CBS fires vice president who said Vegas victims didn't deserve sympathy because country music fans 'often are Republican')
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].”

Liberal privilege?

i am truly surprised anything happened to her at all.
And there are still morons out there who don’t believe the media is at war with Conservatives.
She’s but one among tens of thousands employed by media who thinks like this.
Her children, if she has any, were dismembered and thrown in a dumpster.
Total hypocrisy on the part of SeeBS.
“Mommy” of cats, maybe.
Or she could get a job in Hollywood.
When you live in a bubble of like-minded thinkers, you have to one-up them all to get any attention. It would have worked, too, if she hadn’t forgotten that social media spills into flyover country.
A truly repellent human being, this one. Progressivism seems to displace something normal in its victims and what is left is this sort of moral zombie. They walk among us.
You’re right. And the only reason she was fired was because the bimbo eas stupid enough to do it publicly. Otherwise, she would still have a job.
This tells me that in the environment she lives in, new York, mass media, etc, she didn’t think this opinion was even slightly controversial.
Well she’s a “VP” supposedly.
Betcha she thought she was in a protected class. She may have bought into the media, including cbs, narrative of how much people hate Trump.
See NFL?—No guarantee of free speech in the workplace.
But I think your estimate of 90% is too low. :-)
