In a speech Saturday to the country's largest gay advocacy group, Hillary Clinton blistered Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore for his critical positions on gays.

Clinton never called Moore by name, identifying him only as the "Republican Senate candidate in Alabama."

Clinton made her comments during an address at the Human Rights Campaign National Dinner.

Twice removed from the Alabama Supreme Court, the second occasion occurred last year when Moore ordered state probate judges to deny marriage licenses to same-sex couples in defiance of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling.

He once wrote an opinion during his first term on the state Supreme Court in which he described homosexuality as "abhorrent" and "destable."

"When the Republican Senate candidate in Alabama supports the idea that homosexuality should be criminalized, and refuses to say whether or not he thinks that LGBT people should be executed, Americans of every party, of any decency, Democrats. Republicans and independent should line up and condemn him and those views," Clinton said.

She then received an extended ovation before continuing.

"And that includes the President, the Senate majority leader, the Speaker of the House and every single elected official who endorses a candidate with those views should be held accountable," Clinton said.

"There is an old Mexican proverb that says tell me with whom you walk and I will show you who you are. Whether or not we are willing to accept this kind of bigotry and hatred speaks volumes about who we are as a country."

Watch Clinton make her comments about Moore, beginning at the 21-minute mark.

The Moore campaign issued a statement to AL.com on Monday night regarding Clinton's remarks.

"American voters rejected Hillary Clinton's political correctness in 2016, because Americans are sick and tired of being told they are bigots if they don't support changing the definition of marriage," campaign chair Bill Armistead said. "As senator, Judge Moore will focus on strengthening the military, cutting taxes, and reducing spending - and he won't change his support for traditional marriage simply because Hillary Clinton criticizes him at a Washington D.C. gala.

"The Human Rights Campaign is a radical leftist group that is spending millions of dollars in Alabama, Arkansas, and Mississippi. Their goal is to advance a gay rights agenda in the south and undermine religious liberty and the traditional Judeo-Christian understanding of the family," Armistead said. "Hillary Clinton and the Human Rights Campaign are targeting Judge Moore because he is unafraid to stand up for traditional marriage."

More recently, Moore spoke out against transgender people in the military and the emergence of transgender bathrooms.

"We don't need transgender bathrooms and we don't need transgender military and we don't need a weaker military," Moore said during a stump speech near Decatur on Saturday. "We need to go back to what this country is about."
