MADISON, Wis. (AP) – Republican Republican State Rob Brooks resigned from his position as Deputy Leader of the Wisconsin Assembly amid a call from Governor Scott Walker that he resigns from his post.
The leaders of the Republican Assembly issued a joint statement in which they claimed that Mr. Brooks had decided to leave his leadership position and would remain vacant after the November elections.
Brooks, of Saukville, faces a bipartisan sentence for his racist and sexual remarks made to three parliamentary colleagues following a GOP caucus this summer.
Brooks is apologetic for the comments, which according to him were made "under the influence of alcohol".
But Walker calls them "offensive and disrespectful" and says Brooks should resign from his seat. He is running for reelection in November.
