Republican Senator John McCain has joined the chorus of lawmakers saying that former Defense Secretary Robert Gates should have delayed publishing his memoir. The memoir caused a stir in Washington due to the opinions Gates discloses on President Obama, Vice President Biden, and members of Congress.

Elijah Cummings have also criticized the timing of the book.
