1. Google is your friend. Some of the racist tweets were reposted, but most of the racist tweets (and all of the homophobic tweets) have been deleted.
2. Sure it is. But you don't get to decide whether someone else is offended by something. Especially when you're not in the group of people who were targeted by the statements.
If McCammond had made similarly racist comments about Latinos or Blacks, she would never have been in the running for the job in the first place.
3. More than half of the employed staff voiced concerns based on her racist and homophobic actions in the past. Out of a staff of 45 (including interns and contractors), more than 20 employees said she wasn't suitable for the job.
You clearly work in a tech environment where HR isn't a thing. I've worked more corporate jobs than you have. In any other company, if half of the employees said the incoming boss was a racist homophobe, and customers started pulling orders, that person's offer would have been withdrawn without hesitation.
