Many social media users shared the claim in October and November 2020, imploring others to consider ending their support for the organization.
Misbar’s Analysis
Misbar’s investigation found that AARP, an interest group focused on senior citizens, is completely nonpartisan.
They did not support Biden, and they have never supported any political candidate.
Further, Biden’s COVID-19 taskforce did not say that living past 75 is not “worth living,” as claimed in the viral posts. Since Biden is 78, any such statement would seem counterintuitive. The taskforce has outlined a proactive pandemic response specifically focused on protecting senior citizens.
