FDR illegally shut down Fr Coughlin, who wasn’t anywhere near as toxic as Jones is.
The RC Church, at the time, still officially regarded Jews as “Christ-killers”, so it’s probably not surprising that Coughlin didn’t think much of Jews. He also didn’t like FDR very much since he regarded FDR as having betrayed the working class by going back on his promises to “soak the rich”. So FDR illegally had him denied various rights, such as favorable postage rates for his newsletter, and eventually found a bishop who shut Coughlin down completely, eliminating a big political threat to FDR.
But Coughlin wasn’t a liar.
Jones is a liar, and a toxic one in the mold of Hitler, Göbbels, et al.

Yet nobody shuts him down. I wonder why.
