A vote was taken in the House on Thursday to sanction Hamas terrorists and their supporters.
The Hamas International Financing Prevention Act, the sanctions bill, passed the House by a 363-46 vote.
Most of the 45 no votes came from progressive Democrats; Rep. Thomas Massie was the only Republican to vote no.
The 50 Democrats who voted against it were joined by three Republicans who voted no - Reps.
Twenty-three Republicans voted with all House Democrats to defeat the censure.
Twenty-three Republicans, representing a broad cross-section of the party and including several of Tlaib's Michigan colleagues, voted with all House Democrats to defeat the censure attempt.
Most notably, Rep. Max Miller, one of two Jewish Republicans who was a key figure in Republicans' successful bid to remove Rep. Ilhan Omar from the Foreign Affairs Committee, voted against censuring Tlaib.
