Less than factual with a Left-leaning bias.  Not exactly a credible source.

The "article" is an opinion piece, not fact.

There are actual quotes and recordings of MAGA leaders saying they will introduce legislation to phase out social security.

I notice you didn't offer any of those recordings, not one, to back up that claim.

p.s.  MAGA isn't a Party or formal political group.  How can MAGA have "leaders?"

Democrats Misleadingly Claim ‘Republicans’ Plan’
Would ‘End’ Social Security, Medicare

Quote
As part of his plan to downsize the federal government, Republican Sen. Rick Scott says he wants all
federal legislation to “sunset” in five years, and “If a law is worth keeping, Congress can pass it again.”
Well, Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid were all created by legislation. And now Democrats are
saying Republicans want to end those programs.

But Scott, who is chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, says he doesn’t want to
end those programs, and he doesn’t know any Republican legislators who do.

Rather, Scott says he wants to “review,” “fix” and “preserve” those social programs so that they are
financially solvent for the long term. Scott has not detailed how exactly he wants to change the programs,
and whether that might mean fewer benefits. Nonetheless, Democrats go too far in ads and social media
claims that say Scott, and all Republicans by extension, want to “end” or “phase out” those popular programs.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell flatly said that, if the Republicans win control of the Senate, sunsetting
Social Security and Medicare “would not be a part of our agenda.”

The problem is that this forum is being infiltrated to make it seem left leaning.

You have a problem with a left leaning forum? How far right extremist should it be? Don't you have an open mind?
