Letter: Skipping over the major culprits of divisiveness in his op-ed, Herbert chose party line

As one of Jewish faith, I immediately gravitated to the opinion piece by Gov. Gary Herbert published in the Dec. 12 issue of The Salt Lake Tribune concerning the meaning of Hanukkah.

Herbert rightly derided Steve Bannon for his anti-Mormon statements regarding Mitt Romney. He furthermore denounced the intentional divisiveness of “Bannon and his ilk.” Unfortunately, Herbert failed to mention these remarks occurred at a rally for Roy Moore, the Alabama senatorial candidate who has been accused of many instances of improper sexual contact with minors. Moore has also made prejudicial statements regarding gays and Muslims.
