18. I honestly think he doesn't know

he said he doesn't remember groping these women, and it's possible that out of thousands and thousands of photo ops over the years that he inadvertently groped some women. It seems strange to me that the women that knew him from SNL and from his office in the Senate all signed on to letters saying that Franken was a good guy who treated them with respect. But, several women at photo ops where a husband, boyfriend or friend was likely taking the picture (these were before selfies became common) seems like an odd place to start groping somebody - what happens if the husband or boyfriend notices and clocks Franken? Or, the woman turns and slaps him? I mean, if he's a serial groper, isn't it likely it would have happened at least once to him? (getting slapped and/or clocked, or at least an attempted clocking) Or, somebody behind Franken or near him notices the grope?
