I'm actually going to agree with Clinton in this, which is not something I would normally do. It's not the rejection that is the issue, it is the manipulation. One thing I can not abide in other people is manipulative bullshit, even when done with "good intentions." Actually, that's even worse than when it is malicious. It reeks of condescension. "I know what's best for you, so I'm going to trick you into doing the thing I think you should do." Was his reaction extreme? Sure, but not unreasonable. He didn't threaten her, he just told her to fuck off and wait until he actually asks for help, which is what she should have done, what any adult should do.

How often do you get rejected that it is routine?

Rejection is painful. If you personally can simply shrug it off, then I'm impressed. Not everyone has that ability, however.
Clinton will most probably regret his harsh words later, but it might still be better for both of them if she doesn't spring this kind of thing on him without at least some warning.

I was really glad he told Claire off, her behavior was atrocious.
If someone ever set me up like that I would cut them out of my life family or no. There is absolutely zero reason why i should ever have to spend my life worrying that some innocent random afternoon outing will suddenly turn into another social ambush.

Matchmakers can die in a fire. Maybe Clinton was too angry here, but his reaction is 100% justified. I've been in this same boat before, and not once has the matchmaker owned up to their behavior when it went wrong.
You can call him out on his anger, but he is in the right here.
