A House Democrat presented a pack of paper towels on the House floor Tuesday as he lamented the Trump administration’s response to the damage caused by Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico.

Rep. Luis Gutiérrez (D-Ill.) said someone sent the paper towels to his office without explanation shortly after President Trump returned from his trip to Puerto Rico earlier this month.

The anonymous sender incidentally chose Viva brand paper towels, which translates in Spanish to the imperative conjugation of “to live.”

“I guess there’s a little irony, maybe because it’s in Spanish,” Gutiérrez said as he held up the 12-roll pack of paper towels.
