Former President Donald Trump's impeachment trial may be over, but there's the fight over the future of the Republican Party continues. "CBS Sunday Morning" correspondent Lee Cowan sat down with Cindy McCain — wife of the late Republican Senator John McCain — to talk about what lies ahead.

George Conway, cofounder of the Never Trump Lincoln Project, and Kurt Bardella, a former senior adviser to the embattled organization, have publicly called to shut down the operation because of continued fallout over allegations of cofounder John Weaver preying upon young men, including minors, and subsequent reports that some of the super PAC’s leaders knew of the allegations as early as March 2020.

The Lincoln Project’s fundraising page has been shut down, following a wave of scandals which continue to engulf the organization. The donation page on the Lincoln Project website has listed as inactive since Saturday after a number of its founders resigned amid reports of sexual misconduct and misappropriation of funds.

The house of cards is crashing down, it seems, at the Lincoln Project. One week after co-founder Jennifer Horn resigned, two more high-profile resignations have taken place: co-founder Steve Schmidt and Kurt Bardella.

SCHMIDT STATEMENT It was just a touch – a light one – and it lasted for only a moment. I was a 13-year-old boy at the Rock Hill Boy Scout Camp. His name was Ray, and he was the camp medic. The older scouts called him “Gay Ray,” and taunted and teased us about our inevitable encounter with him when the itch of the mosquito bites became too much to bear. It happened almost precisely like the older kids said it would. Covered in bites, I went to the Medical Cabin. He told me to take my clothes off. I...

Of course they knew. Lincoln was born in a log cabin ....Log Cabin Republicans. Id bet good money they were all gay and all using the L. Project as a primary sex pick up org.
