One of the greatest parts of this campaign and @PeteButtigieg himself is that he listens and he adapts and he changes. May we all be so wise. #PeteForAmerica
We appreciate the people who have reached out to educate us on this. While intended to highlight political hypocrisy, we listened and learned and won’t be using it going forward.https://twitter.com/TheRaDR/status/1118277757832708096 …

I have to admit I didn’t know this about the term “Pharisee” and am glad to have learned.
-
I didn’t either and so appreciated the opportunity to learn as well.

I’m a
@PeteButtigieg supporter, and while we're at it, I’d like the campaign to stop using Person of Color. The phrase denotes “ethnic ambiguity” that reinforces Whiteness as a dominant construct. Get comfortable with Black, African American, Latino, and other specific terms. Thx -
Thank you for this. I’ve been wondering which is more respectful. This whole thread is full of grace. It’s a refreshing change.

I'm sorry, it's just been a while since I've witnessed a mature, decent, civil, response, it's gonna take me a minute to process.

A president who can actually listen to constructive criticism, internalize it, and act on it? What planet is this.

Wow. A political campaign that doesn’t respond with insults and even better, listens. Why I like Mayor Pete and his team.

I clicked all the way through and truly learned something. I naively believed that Pharisee wars a form of clergy and not an entire sect. Now I know and so does
@PeteButtigieg. Thank you for explaining! -
Same
not only did he learn but this was a teaching moment for so many more. Building bridges is exactly what this country needs right now.

This is absurd. 99% of Jews would not view that reference as anti-Semitic. Let’s save the righteous indignation for the real hate on the rise in the far Right & Left, not for guys like
@PeteButtigieg who are leading the nation to a more civil, empathetic, & informed dialogue. -
“I am personally ignorant of a specific example of antisemitism” does not translate to “99 percent of Jews agree with me.”

I love the "listening and adjusting" approach. No one can be perfect. And admitting that and moving on is such a refreshing concept.

What would be really great is if he could publicly state this now that he has contributed to the normalizing of the term.
-
Thank you. And a real apology not a restating of the offensive way that the term is used.
-
I hear you on mentioning it, however I was unfamiliar with the word until today. If she had left it vague, I (or others) might not have known—and therefore known *not* to use, if heard in the future under the wrong context. This way it was educating.
