Texas gubernatorial candidate Beto O’Rourke joined pro-abortion rights protesters outside the Bob Casey Federal Courthouse on June 24, after the Supreme Court overturned the landmark 1973 Roe v Wade decision.

This footage filmed by Pat Maween shows O’Rourke greeting supporters as a large crowd forms outside the court house.

In other footage posted online protesters can be heard chanting “Democrats we call your bluff, voting blue is not enough” as O’Rourke made his way through the group of demonstrators.
