Al Franken still hasn't denied grabbing women

[Ms. Toad]

323. Here you go.

"I've met tens of thousands of people and taken thousands of photographs, often in crowded and chaotic situations. I'm a warm person, I hug people," Franken said in a Thanksgiving Day statement released to the Minnesota Star Tribune. "I've learned from recent stories that in some of those encounters, I crossed the line for some women -- and I know that any number is too many."

Franken, without qualification, acknowledged that "I've learned . . . that . . . I crossed the line for some women."

That's a fairly express acknowledgement that, even though he can't remember specific incidents the allegations are consistent with his behavior. If the allegations were not, he would have categorically denied them - as he did the bathroom invitation allegation.
