As wildfires sweep through Los Angeles and as California falters in its emergency response efforts, actor James Woods appeared on Fox News Wednesday to criticize how the government is handling the crisis.

During an appearance on “The Ingraham Angle,” Woods slammed the government’s response in the city, where residents found fire hydrants dry and their homes ablaze. The actor also criticized how Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom has handled the situation. Woods said Newsom is a “blithering idiot” and blamed the governor for what he said was Newsom’s repeated mismanagement of California’s fire preparedness and response.

Woods also directed his attention to Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass.

“The people in charge, she took over and she put on her bio that her priority, my highest priority is inclusion, diversity, and equity. That is my priority. And somebody forgot to fill all the reservoirs, I guess, with water because when I was getting smoke alarms, there was a fire truck parked in front of my house, but they couldn’t pump any water because there was none, because they didn’t put them in the reservoirs,” Woods said.

The actor drew parallels between the current fire crisis and the recent surge in crime within his community. Woods said he attributed both to a lack of competent leadership.

WATCH:

“It’s the same we had with all the crime we have in our neighborhood, you know, in Los Angeles. When we had that idiot Gascon, you know, they just didn’t care,” Woods told Laura Ingraham. “Everybody was running loose. They were smashing places. You couldn’t walk down the street, you know?”

Woods also said that Newsom’s administration faltered in fulfilling fundamental responsibilities to California during the wildfire.

“If it is true that things were handled this way, if it is true that Gavin Newsom is the absolute blithering idiot that I believe he is in the way he has handled fire management in this state again and again and again and again, this isn’t a wake-up call,” Woods said. “This is the kind of thing they have tribunals for, where they try people and say, you had an oath of office to perform certain duties. When you’re the fire chief, this isn’t a social justice exercise that you’re in charge of.”

Officials from the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) faced scrutiny as many of their fire hydrants failed during critical fire outbreaks. As firefighters battled widespread blazes that devastated numerous structures, they discovered that numerous hydrants under LADWP’s management had run dry.
