Yeah, Jesus hung out with tax collectors, aka street thugs, and prostitutes, he even forgave a convicted murderer who was crucified beside him, while he blasted the pharisees throughout all four gospels. Over half of the sermon on the mount, probably the first and the most important christian sermon, he taught the crowd don't act like the pharisees who only keep the law for virtue signaling, and in multiple familiar teachings and parables such as render Caesar's to Caesar and God's to God, in the context the pharisees were asking loaded questions to corner him, and he cleverly evaded their trap and exposed their hypocrisy.
They are sanctimonious hypocrites. And they wonder why so many people detest them.
