Audio from NPR on March 1, 2016?

March 24, 2017 1:34 PM

I am trying to find a specific special report that NPR did for Super Tuesday last year. I was driving in my car to vote and my local station was being interrupted by NPR's special coverage. It was around 5:15pm that day.

I heard Tamara Keith that evening report a story about Bernie Sanders' supporters chanting "English Only." Afterward I learned via Snopes that this was false. I repeated emailed and tweeted NPR to ask if they were going to correct their story but never got a response.

I'd like to listen to the piece again to see if I really misheard or if Ms Keith helped spread the rumor.

Are you sure it was Super Tuesday? Snopes said Dolores Huerta claimed it happened during the Nevada caucus which was on Feb 20, 2016. Tamara Keith did report on the Nevada caucus, but none of her stories report on this from that period. She did do this story on May 18, 2016 about Sanders' supporters harassing the Nevada Democratic party chair.
