My heart is broken. I am so lucky to have lived the adventure of loving this incredible man for 38 years. He passed the way he lived, on his own terms, surrounded by the people he loved, in the the place he loved best.

John McCain believed that every citizen has a responsibility to make something of the freedoms given by our Constitution, and from his heroic service in the Navy to his 35 years in Congress, he lived by his creed every day. https://t.co/946T7PnG53

John McCain was many things – a proud graduate of the Naval Academy, a Senate colleague, a political opponent.

But, to me, more than anything, John was a friend. He will be missed dearly. pic.twitter.com/AS8YsMLw3d

Today we lost an American original. Sen. John McCain was a maverick and a fighter, never afraid to stand for his beliefs. John never took the easy path in life - and through sacrifice and suffering he inspired others to serve something greater than self.

.@SenJohnMcCain lived a life of service to his country, from his heroism in the Navy to 35 years in Congress. He was a tough politician, a trusted colleague, and there will simply never be another like him. My thoughts and prayers are with Cindy and his entire family.

— Debbie Stabenow (@stabenow) August 26, 2018

The Senate, the United States, and the world are lesser places without John McCain.

Nothing will overcome the loss of Senator McCain, but so that generations remember him I will be introducing a resolution to rename the Russell building after him.

We remember Sen. #McCain as a selfless patriot who put family and country first. He honored his family’s military service with not only words, but deeds, serving bravely in Vietnam. Sen. McCain’s collaboration in Congress should be a model for all. We’ve lost a national treasure.

John McCain so warmly welcomed me to the Senate in ‘13. Our later private meeting in his office remains 1 of my most inspiring moments as a Senator.

Death may end a life but it can never end a love. John Loved America: his impact will forever endure. RIP https://t.co/c340f06GzB

We lost a giant tonight. Perhaps no figure in my lifetime better represents someone so dedicated to his country than John McCain, who redefined what it meant to serve & who will always be a role model for respect, courage, & the duty to something greater than oneself.

— Senator Patty Murray (@PattyMurray) August 26, 2018

He was a man of honor who put country and duty first. My thoughts and prayers are with his family, the people of Arizona and his colleagues in the Senate. 3/3

— Rep. Pramila Jayapal (@RepJayapal) August 26, 2018

John McCain was a true American hero. With a spine of steel, refreshing candor and rapier-like wit, he was a lion of the Senate.

Our nation and Congress will miss his wisdom, dedication to duty, and willingness to speak truth to power. Thank you for your service to our country.

— Adam Schiff (@RepAdamSchiff) August 26, 2018

— Justin Trudeau (@JustinTrudeau) August 26, 2018

Many journalists remember Sen. McCain from his “straight-talk-express” campaign for POTUS in 2000. I prefer to recall his “no surrender” tour that led to his nomination eight years later. He ran on the Iraq surge and he was right. Took guts. He had guts.

— Brit Hume (@brithume) August 26, 2018

I had the honor of covering Senator McCain in 2000 - & in his 2008 Presidential run and ever since on Capitol Hill. He was an American hero - a maverick - and someone who could move the ball on both sides of the aisle. There should be more John McCains -there aren’t yet. R.I.P.

— Bret Baier (@BretBaier) August 26, 2018

When I traveled to Vietnam last year, I was determined to visit the Hanoi Hilton where John McCain had been held prisoner for 5 1/2 years. He once wrote an account of his experience in captivity. Here is that amazing story of courage. https://t.co/TRu57vK253

John McCain’s life was like something out of a Hollywood movie script — he was a naval officer and a jet pilot, a war hero and politician. He died today at 81 pic.twitter.com/pdln1hAMyQ
