Scott Walker on Wednesday called for a Republican Wisconsin Assembly leader to resign after the lawmaker apologized for making what he called "stupid comments while under the influence of alcohol" to three female legislators. "Representative Brooks' comments are offensive and disrespectful," Walker tweeted . Brooks said in an earlier statement that he takes responsibility for the comments made following a Republican caucus in Wisconsin Dells this summer. "I regret that I made some stupid comments while under the influence of alcohol after our caucus in the Dells," Brooks said in a statement before Walker called on him to resign. Vos, Assembly Majority Leader Jim Steineke and budget committee co-chair John Nygren did not immediately return messages seeking comment on whether Brooks should resign.
