..."I was in the wrong place at the wrong time and I regret my part in that," he said.
Marketing data company Cogensia fired Rukstales the next day, stating that his actions were inconsistent with the company's values.
On Friday, Rukstales tweeted his latest apology.
“I have come to realize the weight of my actions, and immensely regret following others into the Capitol,” Rukstales said. “As a patriotic citizen, I hope and pray that the people of our nation will move forward united by the many commonalities we share.”
Of the more than 650 people charged with federal crimes related to the Jan. 6 riot, more than 120 have pleaded guilty, mostly to misdemeanors."
