He had strong words to say about rich people who tried to pretend piety while hiding their own deeds, but he SURELY DID go apeshit on the money changers.

Historically the money changers were cheating people at the temple who had come to worship God and be at peace for just a little bit. He actually made a whip of chords to drive the money changers out, tossed tables and chairs. No other place in the Bible does Jesus go after anyone physically.
