I've never heard "monkey this up" in my life. This is essentially a repeat of the "macaca" incident:

Now as then, the GOP, which has thoroughly transitioned into the White Nationalists Party, is gas lighting by saying the choice of words was an extraordinary coincidence and everybody is just being overly sensitive.
What I do like about all this, should this guy be one, is that the bigots had been feeling so emboldened that they weren't mincing words at all. This shows them kind of slinking back into the closet by doing their old routine of weasel wording their plausible deniability.
