Unfortunately most won't do their own research to see what the context of the statement was.

Fortunately, I don’t think most people care enough to remember it by next week

I don't know.  Even in the full context it comes off bad to me.  Especially with just before this he talks about how "articulate" his opponent is.

He wasn't even referring to his opponent in that phrase.

but it sure came off that way, especially since he specifically used Gillum's name immediately after he uttered the phrase.

He should have said "throw a monkey wrench into it" instead of "monkey it up". Most people know what the former expression means. It's very common and has nothing to do with race.

I've never heard of "monkey it up".
