Members of the disgraced Lincoln Project have teamed up with ABC News alumni to create a "pro-democracy" news outlet called "Resolute Square."

"The bigger lesson is that the Trumpfunk was all over them,” Rick Wilson quipped.

The Lincoln Project's co-founder Steve Schmidt ripped into his former organizaztion as a den of unethical fame-seekers and suggested the group should disband.

Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene once was shunned as a political pariah for her extremist rhetoric.

The spot is so bad that many thought it was a parody.

Once a media darling, the anti-Trump Lincoln Project is the subject of a behind-the-scenes documentary that shows the group weathering severe scandals.

This time, it was True the Vote that promised to reveal the evidence behind its claims ... but then didn't.

Those who survive will be treated to Hot & Crispy Fries and Frostys.

What the Lincoln Project does speak for is a feeling for some that the Republican Party has betrayed its longtime members. Lincoln Project co-founder Steve Schmidt was a senior campaign strategist and top adviser to McCain during his 2008 campaign.

Schmidt and seven co-founders launched the Lincoln Project last December in hopes of reaching out to other Republicans they believed were also unhappy with President Trump. "None of us will ever work in Republican politics again," Schmidt tells Stahl. The Lincoln Project made a name for itself with its numerous attack ads, released almost every day on social media. People do hate negative ads, but negative ads work," he says. Stahl spoke to the Lincoln Project in their first group television interview.
