Hillary Clinton Now Says ISIS Is Committing 'Genocide'
Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton says she now believes ISIS is committing "genocide" against Christians, Yazidis and other religious minorities.
A voter at a New Hampshire town hall meeting asked her why she wouldn't join other world leaders in using the term.
"Yes, I will now. I will because we now have enough evidence," Clinton said.
"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 territories controlled by ISIS, and so I agree with you," she said.
Clinton said she was reluctant at first because using the "genocide" label requires countries to take specific actions, but now she's convinced it's true.
In September, more than 100 members of Congress introduced a resolution labeling the atrocities against Christians, Yazidis, Kurdish Muslims and other ethnic and religious minorities as genocide.
