Good post.Pogo’s law does not apply. When stupid is implied by others, one must show them their stupid. Racist it is not.
You’re lucky I’m on my laptop is all.
Definitions are not perma-fixed independent of context. If I said "good post" here you could easily infer that what I mean is the exact opposite.
Whelp --- in this case the speaker is specifically discussing his election opponent, who happens to be black. Coincidence? If "monkey this up" were a common phrase you could credibly claim coincidence. But it's not --- he went out of his way to go there. You can't just ignore context when it doesn't go where you wish it had gone, but didn't.
That doesn't make it "racist" for we have no way to determine that. What it makes it potentially is race BAIT. That's a crucial difference which you're also expending a great deal of energy running away from, again to answer a question that isn't on the table.
I guess what actually IS on the table is too much of a challenge.
That's it. You can go ahead and click "funny" now instead of coming up with a cogent argument.

He was not speaking specifically of his opponent. He was speaking to the voters concerning the upcoming election-
“Let’s build off the success we’ve had on Gov. Scott. The last thing we need to do is to monkey this up by trying to embrace a socialist agenda with huge tax increases bankrupting the state. That is not going to work," DeSantis said.

Once AGAIN you have fucked up the quote nest. And you had two days to figure it out.
Apparently you do this to so screw up the chain of discourse that it can't be followed. But you're wrong anyway. When DeSantis speaks of such an agenda --- WHOSE agenda would it be? The voters'?
The entire statement was about his opponent. He's framing the election in terms of either "building on" Governor Scott -- himself -- or "monkeying this up. Guess who the 'builder' would be. And when you've figured that out guess who that leaves as 'monkey'.
You can take all these phrases and drop them into a blender so that they can't be read but there's no way to un-say what he said.

It’s a verb. Liberals are so poorly educated, they don’t know this.

It was Liberals that felt McCain’s “that one” statement was racial, not me!
Apparently not. You already had that one shot down, now you wanna air it again KNOWING it'll be shot down the same way?
I think there's a quote somewhere about expecting different results....
"the last thing we need to do is to mess this up"
"the last thing we need to do is to screw this up"
"the last thing we need to do is to **** this up"
"the last thing we need to do is to foul this up"
"the last thing we need to do is to bugger this up"
--- would be common expressions. Each one describing an action: "messing", "screwing", "*******", "fouling", "buggering". All used commonly in myriad applications. DeSantis could have used any of these without raising eyebrows with the exceptions of "****" and possibly "bugger" but not for reasons that had anything to do with the subject of his electoral opponent.
But he didn't. The line he actually chose was:
"the last thing we need to do is to monkey this up".
--- An entirely new construction using an animal as a verb, and a specific animal. For that matter he could have said "the last thing we need to do is to louse this up" and used an insect as a verb. But again --- he didn't. He made up an entirely new expression.
Nothing in the world wrong with making up a new expression. We all do it. But he specifically and deliberately chose monkey as his building material. You can't create an entirely new expression without your ingredients being intentional.

Once AGAIN --- "monkey around" is not "monkey up". It is also not "monkey business", "monkeyshines", "Chunky Monkey" or "The Monkees".
WHO KNEW the same word could serve different functions in different phrases? Oh wait --- everybody.
Example: Melania reads the paper and says:
"Ze Donald has been ****ing around? Zat is ****ed up! I'll ****ing kill him! Where ze **** is he?"
