Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) broke down in bipartisan tears during a Monday hearing on the January 6 Capitol breach.<\/p>\n<p>Schiff became \u201cvisibly emotional\u201d after hearing an officer testify about the riot.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d like to think, as Amanda Gorman so eloquently said, that we\u2019re not broken \u2014 we\u2019re just unfinished,\u201d Schiff said, <a href=\"https:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/schiff-kinzinger-tear-jan-6-214300805.html\">according<\/a> to the Washington Examiner. \u201cBecause if we\u2019re no longer committed to a peaceful transfer of power after our elections if our side doesn\u2019t win, then God help us. We deem elections illegitimate merely because they don\u2019t go our way rather than trying to do better the next time, then God help us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd if we\u2019re so driven by bigotry and hate that we attack our fellow citizens as traitors if they were born in another country or they don\u2019t look like us,\u201d the Democrat added, before tearing up. \u201cThen God help us. But I have faith because of folks like you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t expect this would be emotional either,\u201d Schiff added. \u201cIt must be an Adam thing today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kinzinger also openly cried.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI never expected today to be quite as emotional for me as it has been,\u201d the Republican said. \u201cI\u2019ve talked to a number of you and gotten to know you. I think it\u2019s important to tell you right now, though: You guys may, like, individually, feel a little broken. \u2026 But you guys won. You guys held.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDemocracies are not defined by our bad days,\u201d he continued. \u201cWe\u2019re defined by how we come back from bad days, how we take accountability for that. For all the overheated rhetoric surrounding this committee, our mission is very simple: It\u2019s to find the truth, and it\u2019s to ensure accountability.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kinzinger was approved to the January 6 select committee after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) rejected both GOP Reps. Jim Jordan of Ohio and Jim Banks of Indiana.<\/p>\n<p>Jordon on Monday <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/rep-jim-jordan-pelosi-threw-me-off-jan-6-commission-after-i-pressed-about-her-role-in-security-breakdown\">accused<\/a> Pelosi&nbsp;of throwing him off the committee for pressing about her alleged role in the security breakdown at the Capitol that day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe real question is, and I\u2019ve said this many times, why weren\u2019t those guys who testified today and all the other Capitol Hill police who protect us and protect Capitol Hill, why weren\u2019t they given more help?\u201d Jordan <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/rep-jordan-pelosi-jan-6-capitol-commission-fundamental-questions\">told<\/a> Fox News host Bret Baier.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy wasn\u2019t more help there that day? And the only person who can answer that question is the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives,\u201d the Republican said. \u201cAnd I think she thought we were going to keep raising that question, and that\u2019s why she didn\u2019t put me on [the committee].\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jordan further told Baier he believes Pelosi reportedly hesitated to call on the National Guard that day over \u201coptics,\u201d noting of the Democrats\u2019 strong anti-police position.<\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"10.38062283737\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Rep.
