Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders have seen a lot of each other lately.

On March 6, they traded fire during a CNN-sponsored debate in Flint, Michigan. On March 9, they collided again in Miami, Florida, in a debate sponsored by Univision.

As they watched the Miami debate, many Democratic voters were likely still sorting out the claims the candidates made during the exchanges in Flint.

On “Morning Edition,” Denis O’Hayer checked the truth of some of the statements, in a conversation with Jim Tharpe, the editor of PolitiFact Georgia. Politifact Georgia appears in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and on myajc.com.
