The Maine House's Democratic majority, led by Speaker Ryan Fecteau, passed the censure resolution Tuesday night in a 75-70 vote. Libby is now no longer allowed to speak on the house floor or vote until she issues an apology. 

The mini-protest came a day after hundreds took part in a rally against Maine Gov. Janet Mills.

Last week, Trump told Mills at the White House that she must follow his executive order or "you're not going to get any federal funding."

"We'll see you in court," she replied.

As for Libby, she told Fox News Digital last week that she would not apologize for the post. She did not immediately respond to a request for comment regarding Sunday's protest outside her home.

"It's a remarkable double standard as there are public photos of this individual in many places, on social media and even some posted by his school, and so, yes, this post went viral, but this was an individual who participated in a public event, who publicly stood on a podium and accepted a championship medal that rightfully belonged to the girls standing on the second-place spot," Libby said.
