CA AR84

California Assembly Resolution HR 84 condemns President Donald Trump for posting a video on Truth Social depicting former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama as apes, characterizing it as racist imagery rooted in historically dehumanizing tropes.

The resolution calls on President Trump to issue a public apology to the Obamas and to Black Americans nationwide for promoting racist imagery.

The Assembly calls on all elected officials regardless of party affiliation to condemn the post and reject the use of dehumanizing imagery against Black Americans.

The resolution reaffirms the achievements and contributions of Black Americans to California and the nation, particularly during the centennial anniversary of Black History Month.

California recommits to advancing policies that confront systemic racism, protect civil rights, and ensure residents can live free from discrimination and hate.
