Kudos to them for this. Screenshots of the conversations leaked [1], and there is no ambiguity as to who was in the wrong here. Note the timestamp on the thread — the comment happened well after the terrorists had invaded the Capitol.
Hopefully whoever said “nazis gave the jews free healthcare” was fired as well.

#9There are few key properties in self-reflection - (1) Revaluate the decision independently, (2) Focus on the process and see if you come to the same conclusion, (3) If the conclusion is not the same, make the decision maker accountable. If it is the same, recheck the process to see if something is amiss. and (4) Revisit the original decision.
I don't about the details at Github but it seems they have indeed self-reflected swiftly.
