Washington (CNN) Republican former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney slammed Republican Senate nominee Roy Moore of Alabama, rebuking the candidate accused of sexual assault and harassment on the same day President Donald Trump embraced him.

"Roy Moore in the US Senate would be a stain on the GOP and on the nation. Leigh Corfman and other victims are courageous heroes. No vote, no majority is worth losing our honor, our integrity," Romney tweeted Monday in reference to the women who have come forward accusing Moore of sexual assault and harassment.

Moore responded, "Either @MittRomney has lost his courage or he doesn't care about truth anymore. Sad day!

America's reawakening was led by @realDonaldTrump, not you Mitt.

#DefeatTheElite #DrainTheSwamp"
