The resolution from the 136th General Assembly of Ohio condemns former President Donald Trump's sharing of a racist video on February 5, 2026, during Black History Month. The video in question disrespects former President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle Obama, by depicting them in a derogatory manner, specifically by superimposing their faces on the bodies of apes in a jungle setting. The resolution highlights the significance of Black History Month, which honors the contributions of African Americans, and emphasizes the importance of respectful discourse.
The House of Representatives expresses its disapproval of Trump's actions, labeling them as divisive and harmful. The resolution calls for unity against such behavior and mandates that authenticated copies be sent to Ohio's Congressional delegation and local media outlets to raise awareness of the condemnation.
