Wait, you think it's illegal to post something racist online? That is absolutely not the case in the US, and I have no idea why you'd think it was. It's also pretty confusing why you think simple descriptors are "slurs".

It only takes one quick google search to show that he helps promote white supremacist rhetoric:

The intentional ellision of the difference between "happened" and "happened, and then a very specific legal process also happened" is disingenuous.
