How to use pettiness in a sentence?

  1. Former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina:

    If you're tired of the sound bites, the vitriol, the pettiness, the egos, the corruption; if you believe that it's time to declare the end of identity politics; if you believe that it's time to declare the end of lowered expectations; if you believe that it's time for citizens to stand up to the political class and say enough, then join us.

  2. Jill Biden:

    Mean pettiness has overtaken our politics. Today we seem to be at each other's throat. Sometimes it seems like we can't govern ourselves. We can talk to one another -- if you notice, I get criticized for saying anything nice about a Republican, folks, this isn't who we are, this isn't how we got here. We have to remember what it is that makes this nation so special.

  3. Erin Perrine:

    The end of Democrats’ unified government in D.C. is mired in partisan pettiness. Instead of working to combat the inhumane Biden border crisis, fentanyl killing an entire generation of Americans, or securing economic prosperity for the future, Democrats are set to stonewall Republicans, release a private citizen’s tax returns, and blow an even bigger hole in our debt and deficit, really tells the American people all they need to know about Democrat priorities — cheap political points that do nothing to better the lives of working-class Americans.

  4. Kate Bronfenbrenner:

    The very pettiness of the attack against Bernie Sanders, and the comments made about workers, make the company look like it is very worried. It doesn't mean that Amazon is going to lose, but it does make it look like they're worried they're going to lose.

  5. White House:

    It’s disappointing that Senator Schumer and Leader Pelosi are refusing to come to the table and discuss urgent issues, the president’s invitation to the Democrat leaders still stands and he encourages them to put aside their pettiness, stop the political grandstanding, show up and get to work. These issues are too important.
