This is what Mitch did say about social security when he was interviewed on camera many years ago: "there are fifty million piglets sucking on the teats of government". He then proclaimed "this problem" needed to be addressed. It's not unbelievable to think he would want it eliminated. I don't think that would happen because recipients would revolt but he has spent years criticizing it.
You okay with Forbes magazine, or is that "fake news"?
"Donald Trump won’t say it, but Republicans in the Senate will: Social Security and Medicare would be on the chopping block in a second Trump term. Pointing to rising deficits, Republican senators have all but promised to gut entitlements if Trump gets four more years.
Sen. John Thune (R-SD), the second-ranking Senate Republican, expressed hope to the New York Times that Trump would be “interested” in reforming Social Security and Medicare. Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY) was even more optimistic. “We’ve brought it up with President Trump, who has talked about it being a second-term project,” Barrasso said. Senate Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has made no secret of wanting to cut Social Security. "
You claimed in your comment that McConnell said he wanted to get rid of social security. Then you post a couple paragraphs from an article which doesn't say that at all.
