Franken needs to put this thing to rest, one way or the other

[Ms. Toad]

54. You flat out deny that the photo shows him touching her breasts.

She is ONLY describing what she sees in the photo as groping, and sharingher feelings about it. Yes, she is saying he groped her - but she is saying that is what she sees in the photo.

The photo is there for everyone to see and judge for itself. You looked and didn't see groping. She looked and did see groping.

I'm willing to accept that she sees groping in the photo. Like you, however, I don't see it - I see a crude joke at her expense. And that's all.

You, apparently, are not willing to accept that you disagree about whether the photo supports her allegations - and rather than live with that perhaps uncomfortable tension, have repeatedly attributed an additional accusation to her that I see no evidence that she has actually made - that he "went on" to grope her ("went on" means sometime after the photo was taken).

It is not picayune linguistic parsing.

By her plain language she is describing what is going on in the photo. You are insisting that while the photo doesn't show groping, it supports her allegations of something beyond the photo - allegations she never made.
