Here is the context of Matthew 23. Jesus is saying "Jerusalem, Jerusalem." Not Pharisees, Pharisees:

37 “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! 38 See! Your house is left to you desolate; 39 for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’ ”

Oh come now. This isn’t a contest of who is right and who is wrong. This is, or should be, simply a discussion of what scripture teaches.

We all know “Jerusalem” is God’s Holy City, set aside for the Jews and Jesus was talking about the nation of Israel and the Jewish people.
