Can someone elaborate on the reason why the House of Representatives needed to pass a resolution to condemn Trump's tweets?
Many people in government have criticized Trump's tweets before, but I don't recall anyone passing a resolution to condemn it. For example, when Trump attacked Elijah Cummings, Elizabeth Warren quickly condemned his tweets:
It is disgusting. This president brings shame to himself and to the
White House
and Kamala Harris responded by saying:
I am proud our campaign headquarters is in Rep. Elijah Cummings'
district. Baltimore has become home to my team and it's disgraceful
the president has chosen to start his morning disparaging this great
American city.
I found this page, but it talks about the consequences of condemning Trump's tweets, with the conclusion that:
Any way it goes, the vote will make Trump and/or the Republicans look
bad. (To critics, anyway; I assume things could look good to the
target audience in the 3rd scenario.)
Is there a more official reason other than to make Republicans looks bad? Is it to have it on "record" in case Trump backtracks and deletes his tweet?

why the House of Representatives needed to pass a resolution to condemn Trump's tweets?
It did not need to. It wanted1 to.
Many people in government have criticized Trump's tweets before [...]. For example, [...] Elizabeth Warren quickly condemned his tweets
A single representative by him/herself has no power. All of their power is to vote to get resolutions passed by the House. Besides them, their opinions may have some more weight than mine or yours (more people listening to them, the media reproducing them) but legally they do carry the same weight (none).
Is there a more official reason other than to make Republicans looks bad
The official reason is to condemn Trump's tweets. But it also serves some unofficial reasons:
It shows the opinion of the House as a whole instead of that of individual members.
It shows that the House is unhappy with Trump. Since Trump needs its support to pass legislation, it can be a sign that the House will not be collaborative unless Trump changes his ways.
It forces the Republicans to take a stance. When Trump made an infamous tweet and a Democratic representative condemned it, the Republicans could just avoid commenting on it. The resolution forces Republicans to define themselves, either they support the resolution (risking alienating the more radical Trump supporters) or they oppose it (risking alienating the more moderate Republican voters).
1To be clear, some representatives wanted to and some did not want to. But since the majority of them chose to support the measure, the end result is that the House passed the resolution. From now on, when I talk about the House I am actually meaning "the majority of the house".
