Daily Caller -- A top legal executive at CBS, Hayley Geftman-Gold, said she “is not even sympathetic” for the victims of the shooting at a country music festival at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas Sunday night.
“If they wouldn’t do anything when children were murdered I have no hope that Repugs will ever do the right thing,” wrote Geftman-Gold on Facebook, perhaps referring to Sandy Hook. “I’m actually not even sympathetic because country music fans often are Republican gun toters.”
Later Monday, CBS announced that Geftman-Gold had been fired.
Stephen Paddock of Mesquite, Nev. opened fire on a crowd of 22,000 country music concert goers from the 32nd floor of Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas late Sunday night. More than 50 people are dead, and 400 others were left injured after the shooting spree finally ended when the shooter turned the gun on himself.
“The gunfire began during a performance by the singer Jason Aldean, the closing act of the Route 91 Harvest Festival, according to Gail Davis, who was in the audience of more than 22,000,” reports The New York Times.
CBS has a history of hostility towards Republicans. Shortly after the attack on the GOP congressional baseball team gravely injuring Louisiana Rep. Steve Scalise in June, former CBS anchor Scott Pelley questioned whether the shooting was “foreseeable, predictable and to some degree, self-inflicted.”
The original thread was deleted, but not by Geftman-Gold.
Blog Author's Comments: At least someone at CBS had the sense to fire this woman, we shall see how long it will be before they rehire her. And there are still those who claim the mainstream media is unbiased and impartial. They are the same ones who believe that Hilary won the election.
And just like clockwork the Democrats are out in force calling for more gun control, as if any new gun laws would have stopped the shooter from doing what he did. They continue to use the same old playbook whenever there is a mass shooting. If it was proven that the shooter was a Muslim terrorist, they would quickly tell us that most Muslims are good people and can be trusted.
I suppose Haley Geftman-Gold could end up being employed by CNN or MSNBC as an on-air news person, or at the Clinton Foundation as a legal executive. If the Clinton Foundation employed her, at least Hillary would know where to find her husband when and if she ever needed him.
