An emotional Tarrio continues apologising, reading from a prepared statement and appearing to get choked up every few moments.
He goes on, telling police and staff of US legislators that he is sorry for his actions.
"I had multiple opportunities to avoid this fate and my deepest regret is how others were affected," he says.
"I am not a political zealot. Inflicting harm or changing the results of the election was not my goal," he continues. "I didn’t think it was even possible to change the results of the election."
He also speaks about the struggle of being in solitary confinement during pre-trial detention.
"When I get home I want nothing to do with politics, groups, activism or rallies," he says.
