The Pharisees were offended? Did Jesus care?

There is some much attention to people being offended these days.  It's like some people now think they have a divine right not to be offended.  Freedom of speech is being restricted in the quest to never offend a single person.

Matthew 15:12(NKJV)

Then His disciples came and said to Him, “Do You know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?”

 Here's a question.  "What would Jesus do" in regards to offending or not offending people?  Would Jesus get all apologetic and grovel and promise not to offend again?  Would Jesus change His message so as to not offend?  Or would Jesus say "tough shit.  The truth is the truth!  Deal with it!"

Matthew 15:13-20(NKJV)

But He answered and said, “Every plant which My heavenly Father has not planted will be uprooted. 

Let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch.”

Then Peter answered and said to Him, “Explain this parable to us.”

So Jesus said, “Are you also still without understanding? 

Do you not yet understand that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and is eliminated? 

But those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man. 

For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies. 

These are the things which defile a man, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man.”
