The way he uses moral monster all the time is clearly supposed to be a crypto-religious crudgel to align people doing benign things with Hitler or the Devil.
But whenever I read it I just imagine a nice, furry, cuddly storybook monster that teaches kids about sharing and being nice to each other and so on.
Which admittedly is probably the same thing he imagines too, but is warped enough to think that is a horrifying image on the level of Hitler or the Devil.

Fairly sure he had Stalin in mind, mfer always gets that feverish glow on his face whenever he's blathering about how powerful the Führer's charisma was. He's very obviously a total Adolf Hitler fanboi.
I'm a de jure moral monster. I have the rules for being a moral monster written out on a little card in my wallet, and I always consult the card before making big decisions.
de facto means "in fact" or "as actually practiced" while "de jure' means "what the law says" with the implication that the law is not being followed. I'm not even sure if they're real Latin or just dog Latin that has become an English expression. But both terms are pretty commonly used. I'd honestly never even considered that they were Latin until you mentioned it.
the meaningless Latin he threw in there to sound intellectual
or did he mean 'ipso facto'
A yeti, saving infinite children drowning in infinite ponds. Behold, a moral monster.

'de facto' doesn't really add anything to the tweet.
It's not grammatically incorrect there or gibberish, but it's redundant.
'ipso facto' is I think what he meant: if they do x, they are ipso facto a monster
