US HR1065

H. Res. 1065 censures and condemns President Donald Trump for reposting a 62-second video on February 5, 2026 at 11:44 PM that depicted former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama as primates

The resolution characterizes the post as racist and a violation of the President's oath of office to uphold and defend the Constitution

White House officials initially defended the post and called criticism "fake outrage" before removing it several hours later on February 6, 2026, following bipartisan condemnation including from Senator Tim Scott (R-SC)

The resolution calls on President Trump to apologize for the social media post, which it states disgraced the Office of the President and dishonored the United States

Introduced February 13, 2026 by Rep. Cohen with cosponsors Rep. Kennedy of New York, Rep. Watson Coleman, and Rep. Green of Texas; referred to the House Judiciary Committee
