Why should he? What is his conflict of interest? If he has to recuse himself you're just opening the door for any defendant who doesn't like his judge to spout a bunch of bullshit and then say the judge has to recuse himself.
There could be a case where a judge was the recipient of heavy criticism from an individual and later had to recuse himself from a case involving that person. But, that is quite rare and, as you correctly note, this is NOT that case.
Like you, I see no reason for recusal here.
