Irked Grothman explains hate measure 'yes' vote

WI GOP Cong. Glenn Grothman continued his 'Embarrass Humanity Tour' by reluctantly voting "yes" on a resolution condemning hate. 

But only after making sure you understood why he just couldn't stick with his initial 'no' vote:
Texas Republicans Kevin Brady, the ranking member on the powerful Ways and Means Committee, and Randy Weber, as well as Wisconsin GOP Rep. Glenn Grothman, also voted “no” before switching to “yes.”
Grothman approached Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin, one of the lead sponsors of the measure, after the vote to say he had to support the resolution because “it’s too hard to explain not voting for it.” But he was disappointed by something not mentioned in it.
“I voted ‘yes’ because I had to, but you should be embarrassed that Al Sharpton is not in there,” Grothman said, calling the civil rights activist “Mr. super anti-Semite in everything under the sun.”
