No, not “hate speech”, which is legislation on thought rather than action and not in the Constitution. I do not doubt that you have read Article 3 Section 3, so I don’t want to come off as patronizing by quoting its first sentence.

Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying war against them or adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. …

Again, nobody is trying to shut Bloomberg up. However, if others act against the USA on his words, he does still have to answer for that as if issuing an order to action or suchlike.

Just a bunch of overheated rhetoric,then, about Bloomberg’s “treason”. He is a political opponent, not a traitor.
