Rhodes' "kill them all" message is vile, but if the FCC goes after only the robocallers with messages deemed to be racist, I think that violates the 1st Amendment.

I get like 8 of these a day. When is the FCC going after them?
“The commission said Mr. Rhodes used an online calling platform to intentionally manipulate caller ID information to display local phone numbers as the source of the calls. That practice, known as neighbor spoofing, violates the Truth in Caller ID Act...”

The ACLU defended Skokie Nazis way back in the day. They understood that even hateful speech is protected by law.

Did he intend to cause harm or did he hope to engender political change that, to his mind, would benefit America?

The key here is not that his message was vile, but that he broke the law by spoofing the phone numbers; I presume any robo-caller who does this COULD be prosecuted for it.
