Content: CNN then reported that Republicans were targeting the group in the wake of the report that claimed to expose "the conflict between AARP’s drive for profits, the best interests of its members and the organization’s tax-exempt status." Democrats argued the attacks stemmed from AARP’s support of then-President Barack Obama’s health care bill, according to CNN. But the report makes no mention of Planned Parenthood. When we followed up, Jeff Szymanski, another AMAC political liaison, said he recalled "it was a radio personality that made the claim you cite, not AMAC." The language in the ad featuring radio personality Dennis Prager is virtually identical to the ad featuring Sebastian Gorka. They both link to AMAC’s website and say they are sponsored and paid for by AMAC. We asked Szymanski if AMAC didn’t write the ads but he didn’t reply. Instead, he directed PolitiFact to a page about AARP on the website 2ndVote.com, which calls itself the "conservative watchdog for corporate activism." Under a section labeled "life," the page says: " AARP is a corporate supporter of the National Women’s Law Center, which is a pro-abortion organization."
