Al Franken still hasn't denied grabbing women

[oberliner]

178. I am not trolling and I have attempted to address everyone who has engaged me seriously

To summarize my main points:

I agree with the point in this article that Franken's statement was confusing.

I think that if he did not grab anyone's butts then he should say so.

I think if he did grab people's butts that he should also say so and apologize for that.

The comments that people have made about the difficulty in responding to anonymous attacks and the sensitivity with which one has to deal with these sorts of matters generally are valid ones.

I also think there is validity to the argument that the right-wingers (and possibly Russian elements) are using this story to their political advantage.

That being said, though, I still would like some clarity from Franken on what exactly he is apologizing for, since he does not seem to be admitting to what he was accused of.

I'm not sure what else I can add beyond those points. (Most other comments have simply been attacks on me or my motives in even posting about this in the first place (as you seem to be doing)).
