The GOP is now the official party of Nazi pedophiles. Even with broad leeway given by the 1st Amendment, this appears to qualify as criminal hate speech:

Under current First Amendment jurisprudence, hate speech can only be criminalized when it directly incites imminent criminal activity or consists of specific threats of violence targeted against a person or group.

Inciting an imminent war against Jews is a specific threat of violence.

Unfortunately, you pretty much have to specify a specific time and place for it to be actionable. These guys are very familiar with how those laws work and know exactly how to avoid getting caught by them.
