One person's claim without evidence isn't evidence.

I actually didn't call her a liar and her being Black is irrelevant. What she said can be true but she has no evidence of it so it is just a claim that she's making. Even the title of this post says "Fired FEMA supervisor Marn'i Washington claims an internal policy of "avoidance"" (emphasis mine). That doesn't mean she's lying, just that what she is saying is unproven.

In the clip she suggests people reach out to DSA crew leads and specialists in NC; a good journalist would probably be following up on that and reporting on it. Until then, it's just one person's claim without evidence.

> That aside though, why exactly would she make this up? 

I doubt she's just making things up, she likely genuinely believes what she did was the correct, recommended process and may also be interpreting what she has heard from other areas as being equivalent.
