I have been asking myself the same, but when you look at the definition of groping you find that it can be extended as far as politically needed.

Groping: feel or fondle (someone) for sexual pleasure, especially against their will.

"At Last Zero Tolerance" and justifying these democrats actions. Why are they not pushing for an investigation? Why do they believe people who have not shown their faces or even provided their names, like those accusing the man-child and Moore?

How can anyone side with an anonymous accuser? As I have posted before, I feel it could be a Russian troll making the accusation, why not? Isn't this what they do?

Am I supposed to believe anyone who claims sexual harassment, or is there something called "investigation", something that Franken himself suggested be done.

The first accuser, after Franken suggested an investigation on himself, said that an investigation was not needed, that she had not meant to cause any trouble for Franken...really??? The performances she had during the period of the accusation, all can be found on video, speak for themselves about her character and how far she will go to entertain soldiers, which were beyond of what she accused Franken of doing to her, and beyond of what the scripts called for.

I feel democrats, as always, are doing something very stupid by crucifying Franken without due process. I believe this is going to affect the democratic party in the opposite way of what they have calculated, because this is obviously a bad calculation, Republicans don't get care about it, they voted for the #1 sexual harasser and are going to vote for a pedophile. If those democrats who have come out against Franken think they are going to win any republicans by their stupidity, they are wrong, republicans really don't care, and it is amazing that these career politicians can't see it.
