Right back at ya, Mr. President.

As revelers partied outside the White House celebrating Joe Biden’s election win Saturday afternoon, one man tossed a symbolic reminder over the perimeter fence.

Wearing a Puerto Rican flag as a cape, the man dramatically threw a pack of paper towels toward the executive mansion.

“Never forget,” the man said, according to a Washington Post reporter who posted a video of the scene.

The stunt was a reminder of President Trump’s 2017 visit to hurricane-ravaged Puerto Rico.

Standing near a stack of emergency supplies sent to the reeling island, Trump started tossing paper towels at the crowd.

While he was widely criticized for the move, which was blasted as insensitive, Trump later said that he was just having some fun with the crowd.
