Those are very subjective terms that could be interpreted in any number of ways. Who knows if some mentally unstable liberal like James Hodgkinson might have read her comment and plans to take it seriously. That is the problem with making declarations like these. You never know who is listening. I wonder what you would be saying if a white Republican senator had said this about Obama?
Looks like free speech to me.

Selected Applications of the Brandengurg Test
The Supreme Court in Hess v. Indiana (1973) applied the Brandenburg test to a case in which Hess, an Indiana University protester said, “We’ll take the fucking street again” (or “later.”) The Supreme Court ruled that Hess’s profanity was protected under the Brandenburg test, as the speech “amounted to nothing more than advocacy of illegal action at some indefinite future time.” The Court concluded that “since there was no evidence, or rational inference from the import of the language, that his words were intended to produce, and likely to produce, imminent disorder, those words could not be punished by the State on the ground that they had a ‘tendency to lead to violence.’”
In NAACP v. Claiborne Hardware Co.(1982), Charles Evers threatened violence against those who refused to boycott white businesses. The Supreme Court applied Brandenburg and found that the speech was protected: “Strong and effective extemporaneous rhetoric cannot be nicely channeled in purely dulcet phrases. An advocate must be free to stimulate his audience with spontaneous and emotional appeals for unity and action in a common cause. When such appeals do not incite lawless action, they must be regarded as protected speech.”
As for your hypothetical, I'd be saying the exact same thing. It's not criminal, but it's exceptionally poor taste and resignation would be appropriate.
