BERLIN, N.H. — Hillary Clinton condemned ISIS for committing "genocide" against Christians and other religious minorities in the Middle East for the first time at a campaign stop here Tuesday.
Clinton, who admitted she was reluctant to use the term a few months ago, said she would now employ the word "genocide" to denounce what ISIS is doing, citing "enough evidence."
"What is happening is genocide, deliberately aimed at destroying not only the lives but wiping out the existence of Christians and other religious minorities in the Middle East in territory controlled by ISIS," she said in response to a question at a town hall event.
"That term carries with it legal import. It's a very important concept and label for behavior that deserves that name," Clinton said, adding that in the past she wasn't sure there was enough evidence to warrant the term.
