| Confusion: Groper and Groyper |
As reported by Huffpo:
Two more women have told HuffPost that Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) touched their butts in separate incidents. These are the third and fourth such allegations against Franken in the past week. Leeann Tweeden, a radio host, wrote last week that Franken had kissed and groped her without her consent during a 2006 USO tour. On Monday, Lindsay Menz accused Franken of groping her at the Minnesota State Fair in 2010.
The two additional women, who said they were not familiar with each others’ stories, both spoke on condition of anonymity. But their stories, which describe events during Franken’s first campaign for the Senate, are remarkably similar — and both women have been telling them privately for years.
The head touching by Franken is considered inappropriate for two main reasons.
Firstly, as a disgusting, sex-mad groper, the only part of his body that he should be touching regularly is his penis and other slime-emitting organs.
As the penis is also the organ with which he clearly does most of his thinking, it makes much more sense for him to grab that appendage during times of stress. Grabbing any other part of his body is thus highly inappropriate.

Secondly, "groper" sounds too much like "Groyper," a well-known Alt-Right meme, one of whose characteristics is also head touching. As explained by Know Your Meme:
But what makes it even more wrong is that Groyper's pose is designed to signal smug superiority, something that it is highly inappropriate to show for a Senator about to be hounded out of office by the circular firing squad of the Left.
"Groyper refers to an exploitable illustration of Pepe the Frog resting his chin on interlinked hands."Mixing up a pervert like Frankin with one of the Alt-Right's most esteemed memes is therefore highly offensive.
