What no one will acknowledge is that Strider was in a unique position in her campaign. It's impolitic to have to acknowledge it, I suppose, but there was no one else who had the ins to the religious leaders that he did. I don't know what job the woman had but apparently her skills were transferrable, and she continued to work in the campaign, happily not in the same office as her harasser.
You're calling Clinton's response inappropriate. That's a matter of opinion, even in the current environment. It's certainly not a basis for disparaging a woman's entire career.
