MSNBC “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough on Friday blamed the Los Angeles “hellscape” wildfires on slashed infrastructure spending — as he ripped the “complete failure of government to protect” residents.

“We don’t know the exact causes for the complete failure of government to be able to protect these homes,” the lefty anchor told viewers Friday morning.

“I don’t think we can say it’s the smelt alone. We don’t know what it is. But I do think it is going to be like Hurricane Katrina,” he continued. “I mean, the infrastructure has been slashed.”

Both California Gov. Gavin Newsom and local government officials, like Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, have been lambasted repeatedly this week for alleged mismanagement that may have worsened the devastation currently wreaking havoc on the region.

“You can’t just say it is Karen Bass. You can’t just say it is Gavin Newsom. This has been a trend for 30 years,” Scarborough argued.

Over the past three decades, three out of five governors in the Golden State have been Democrats. Four of the five mayors who have overseen Los Angeles County in that time were Democrats, too.

“The longer we get into this, the more I think about how New Orleans didn’t invest in their levee system, how they didn’t invest in critical infrastructure, and people died because of it,” Scarborough said as he continued to rip the apparent failures.

“It’s just hard to hear people say, in one of the richest cities in the world, say, ‘Oh, we don’t have enough water to protect people’s homes.’”

His reaction followed reports that fire hydrants in Los Angeles had run dry and left firefighters helpless as countless homes started to burn down earlier this week.

All three of the 1 million-gallon water tanks that supply hydrants in Pacific Palisades were empty by 3 a.m. Wednesday, according to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power.

Elected officials in the Golden State have come under intense scrutiny in recent days as the Palisades Fire and two other massive blazes — fueled by the Santa Ana winds — have devoured full neighborhoods, leveling thousands of homes, businesses and schools in their paths.

President-elect Donald Trump has blamed Newsom for the out-of-control fires, claiming the governor chose to protect an endangered fish species instead of sending badly needed water to Southern California.

He argued that Newsom had blocked a federal order that would have diverted more water from Northern California, a wetter climate, to the Golden State’s parched regions “including the areas that are currently burning in a virtually apocalyptic way.”

“He wanted to protect an essentially worthless fish called a smelt … but didn’t care about the people of California,” Trump raged on Truth Social.

While Newsom came under fire for blocking the water relocation order, Bass was slammed for cutting $17.6 million from the Los Angeles Fire Department’s budget for the 2024-25 fiscal year.

She was trashed, too, by her own constituents for being 7,400 miles away in Africa to attend the inauguration of Ghana’s president as wildfires engulfed her city.
