That's how many voted with the Democrats to pass the Big Pork bill and grease some palms.
Steve Scalise is the Republican Whip, and his job is to corral Republican House members and get them all on the same page, voting the same way and supporting the Party.
So why didn't he do his job?
You can always count of one or two dissenters but 13?? That's a lot. Therefore my only conclusion is that Republicans wanted that bullshit spending bill passed, otherwise it wouldn't have.
If that's the case - if it were truly a bipartisan bill - why didn't they all vote for it?
And the answer is: because it sucks for the American people, Republican voters know this, and House Republicans didn't want to be held accountable for their actions. So they picked out lesser House members who are retiring or likely won't be re-elected and made them do it.
Here they are, along with their excuses:

Meet the 13 Republicans who voted for the infrastructure bill
The infrastructure bill could not have passed without the support of 13 Republicans, who pushed it through despite opposition from six progressive members of the House.
Their feigned ignorance is so laughable it's insulting.
