Bill > H5153

This resolution, passed by the South Carolina House of Representatives, condemns a social media post by then-President Donald J. Trump that depicted former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama as apes. The resolution explicitly states that such comparisons are racist, dehumanizing, and go against the fundamental principles of equality and human dignity. It denounces the use of racist imagery by any public official, especially one in the nation's highest office, and reaffirms South Carolina's commitment to rejecting all forms of racism and upholding the equal worth of all individuals. The resolution also mandates that copies be sent to the Office of the President of the United States and South Carolina's congressional delegation.
