> IMHO firing whistle blowers is the kind of action that should be called out as very negative and not something to be apologetic about.

do you mean "and something to be apologetic about"? the two clauses in this line seem to be contradictory the way I'm reading it.

"making apologies for", or to be "an apologist", in this context is someone who defends a controversial idea. https://www.dictionary.com/browse/apologist

My read sees an implied "apologies are not enough."

I assume he means not being apologetic about calling it out.
