Brooks was accused of making racial and sexual comments to female legislators at an event in July. Brooks allegedly said he would not buy a drink for Rep. Jessie Rodriguez (R) because she was Hispanic. He was also accused of making sexual comments to Reps. Cindi Duchow (R) and Amy Loudenbeck (R). In a statement from House Speaker Robin Vos' office, the three female lawmakers said Brooks' comments were inappropriate and offensive. In a statement to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the lawmakers said Brooks had apologized and they were "pleased with the appropriate way in which this case was handled and have already put it behind us." Brooks said in a statement, "I regret that I made some stupid comments while under the influence of alcohol after our caucus in the Dells. I take full responsibility for my behavior and have apologized for my actions. I am ready to move on from this incident and fully support and will adhere to the Assembly policies to maintain a safe workplace for legislators and staff."
