This House resolution condemns and censures President Donald Trump for reposting a video on February 5, 2026, that contained false claims about voter fraud in the 2020 election and depicted former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama as primates—a well-documented racist trope. The resolution, introduced by Representatives Cohen, Kennedy, Watson Coleman, and Green, argues that the post violated the President's oath to uphold the Constitution and notes that the image faced bipartisan criticism, including objections from Republican Senator Tim Scott, before the White House removed it hours later. The resolution calls on President Trump to apologize for the post and states that his refusal to do so and claims that a staff member posted it without his full review do not excuse the offensive content. Unlike legislation, this resolution carries no funding requirements or implementation timeline; it is a formal statement of congressional disapproval intended to place the President's actions on record.
