Today’s #McCainMemory is from @RepCraigGoldman, who shares a valuable leadership lesson from his time working for Senator John McCain, saying, “When I questioned why he was going to do something, he responded, ‘Because it's the right thing to do.’"

Seeing this McCain Institute event reminds me of way back in 2016 when Republican leaders knew Putin was a thug and a killer who was attacking the US and US interests. And wanted to do something about it instead of just posting tweets and postponing deadlines.
The McCain institute will host an event in the U.S. Senate on Wednesday, July 30th called "Post-War Pathway: Principles for U.S.-Russia Relations After Ukraine" with @EvelynNFarkas @SenMcConnell @DCTwining and members of the McCain Institute's Russia Task Force.

Just participated in a great conversation with @SenatorHassan about #DDay, NATO & U.S. leadership hosted by the @McCainInstitute. It’s important to come together and reflect on the Greatest Generation’s sacrifices as well as the world they left us and how to play our part today.
