CBS fired legal executive Hayley Geftman-Gold on Monday after she said on social media she has no sympathy for the "country music fans" massacred in Las Vegas because they were likely "Republican gun toters."

"I'm actually not even sympathetic [because] country music fans often are Republican gun toters," CBS vice president of strategic transactions Hayley Geftman-Gold wrote on Facebook after the shooting.

Police said at least 58 people were killed and over 500 were injured in 64-year-old Stephen Paddock's attack.

"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.

"CBS has a history of hostility towards Republicans," The Daily Caller reports. "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.'"
