Bernie Sanders publicly withdrew his endorsement of California congressional candidate Cenk Uygur after Uygur announced he would not accept any endorsements for his campaign.

Cenk Uygur his political endorsement. Today, Uygur announced that not only was he rejecting Sanders' endorsement, but would not be accepting any endorsements from anyone.

"I want to be free of any influence other than the voters of CA-25 [the 25th Congressional district of California]," he continued."I will not be beholden to corporations, lobbyists, or special interest groups and I will not stand by while those groups attack my political allies. That's why I have decided that I will not be accepting any endorsements."

I can't tell you how much I appreciate the endorsements of Bernie Sanders, Ro Khanna, Nina Turner & local progressive groups that gave me their support. Their stance took real courage in the face of the corporate media and Democratic establishment onslaught. I want to be free—reached to Uygur's campaign for further comment but did not receive a response in time for publication.
