The comedian and pot advocate said he was scheduled to introduce the Vermont senator at a Los Angeles rally, and was dropped just hours before it was to take place.

"It's lip service to get the votes, but they don't want to endorse what I stand for and what I've stood for all my professional career," Chong told The Hollywood Reporter after he was uninvited from the rally.

"It was an insult."

The Sanders campaign said in an email they appreciated Chong's support, but a "scheduling issue came up."

Chong, who endorsed Sanders earlier this year, blamed his advocacy for marijuana for the incident.

He expressed regret for a video endorsement in which he praised Sanders for supporting the legalization of marijuana.

"Now I'm going to look like a fool, like one of those guys who starts bragging about something that isn't true," he said.

"And I don't like that because my endorsement means a lot because of what I have gone through and what the whole [marijuana] culture has gone through."

Chong tweeted about being uninvited from the campaign appearance on Monday.

"Unfortunately, after months of support and endorsement videos, I have to report that @BernieSanders pulled away his invite to me," he tweeted Monday.

He later tweeted that he heard there was a scheduling conflict with the Sanders campaign and planned to continue his support of the candidate.
