Once again, the Bernie Sanders’ campaign finds itself having claimed the support of someone who didn’t exactly endorse the Vermont senator.

Brenda Romero, a Nevada student leader and DREAMer that Bernie Sanders’ campaign touted as someone who endorsed their campaign, tells CNN she never endorsed the Vermont senator and is backing Hillary Clinton.

Romero said Monday she had agreed to be part of Sanders’ Nevada Latino Steering Committee, but that she never endorsed the senator.

Sanders released the list of activists and elected officials on his Latino committee in January.

“Tomorrow, a group of highly respected community leaders will announce their support for Bernie Sanders for president,” said a statement about the press conference.

The list included Lucy Flores, former Nevada state assemblywoman and congressional candidate, and Romero, a undocumented DREAMer and class president at College of Southern Nevada.

“I didn’t agree to such an endorsement,” Romero said Monday, noting that while she agreed to be part of the steering committee, she was told that the role would be advising the “campaign and potentially Sen. Sanders about immigration issues.”

Romero is the latest in a string of endorsements touted by Sanders who didn’t actually back the Vermont senator.

A group of Sanders campaign staffers must be secretly working for Hillary

10. This seems a trend!

Perhaps an ad putting all of these not-real-endorsement endorsements together would be a wake-up call that someone is over-zealous and deliberately misrepresenting himself.
