A Facebook post asks, "Are you aware that a portion of everything you pay A.A.R.P Goes directly to the Democratic Party." AARP is a tax-exempt social welfare nonprofit that is not permitted to participate in political campaigns. People who work for AARP can make individual political contributions, but those donations do not come from the organization as a whole. We rate this post False. Support independent fact-checking.
