Story highlights Tommy Chong says the Sanders campaign withdrew an invitation to speak

The "Cheech and Chong" star has been a vocal backer of the Vermont senator's campaign

(CNN) The political lovefest between Tommy Chong and Bernie Sanders looks like it might be going up in smoke, as the comedian complained Monday that the campaign had rescinded its invitation to have him speak at a Los Angeles rally.

"I have done lots of campaigning for Bernie, his causes, and the messaging his campaign staff has either emailed or contacted me directly on," Chong wrote on Twitter, adding minutes later: "After months of support and endorsement videos, I have to report that Bernie Sanders pulled away his invite to me."

"Hey just heard that there was a scheduling conflict with the Bernie Sanders rally!" he tweeted. "Hope to continue my support, reschedule, and continue activism, political change and promoting peace anywhere possible."
