"Cinco de Mayo is a phony 'Hispanic' holiday institutionalized by the liberal media. It isn’t observed in Mexico."
FWIW, I learned that it is both truly an American and Mexican holiday, arising from an unlikely victory in 1862 against France in Puebla during the American Civil War.
Cinco de Mayo
Could you share a source to support it being a "phony 'Hispanic' holiday institutionalized by the liberal media"?
