Rep. Dana Rohrabacher was one of just seven Republicans to vote for the House resolution reprimanding Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., for shouting "You lie!" at President Obama last week.
"I think that unfortunately my Republican colleagues got sucked into playing low brow politics and we should have taken the high road,'' Rohrabacher tells the Register. "The high road is you maintain decorum in the House and you don't want to have a president treated any differently than if Ronald Reagan was delivering the speech.''
South Bay Reps. Jane Harman and Laura Richardson also voted aye. Maxine Waters was traveling and missed the vote.
