Democratic gubernatorial candidate Beto O'Rourke watched his language at a campaign stop in a rural East Texas town on Aug. 13 after calling a heckler an expletive earlier this week.

O'Rourke was met with a full house and a pocket of protesters at the Reecy Davis Recreation Center in Greenville, Texas. Police estimated the crowd to be about 600, with some 200 waiting outside.
