42. I admit I didn't think anyone would say he groped a bunch of women and it's not a fireable offense as an option

I can't say I understand it either. I'd be fired from my job if I did that. Even if you want to claim it was all accidental, as someone who's been trained and paid to coach people and required to physically spot people, I was absolutely taught where to not put my hands unless it was in the moment safety and whenever possible to tell people where I was going to put my hands and get permission. Just basic respect for people's autonomy and comfort.

And that picture was incredibly creepy. I can't say I understand accepting that either. But I'd be more open to looking past that if it wasn't accompanied by 8 women saying he couldn't keep his hands to himself.

But the average Franken defender doesn't hold that he did anything wrong. You occupy a unique space which is interesting.
