Why this verdict View evidenceHide evidence
Why we checked itA specific behavioral claim about AARP's political funding strategy — that it targets candidates who avoid Social Security reform — is verifiable against AARP's actual political donation and endorsement records.
What we foundThe claim that AARP funds candidates and insists they say nothing about Social Security is directly contradicted by authoritative evidence on both counts.
