Cinco de Mayo is a phony “Hispanic” holiday institutionalized by the liberal media. It isn’t observed in Mexico.

I find the holiday quite appropriate, and celebrate each year as an opportunity to collect out-of-date expired jars from the fridg of the white stuff, and shoving it all down the sink.

The “liberal” left will celebrate any tradition other than American Judeo-Christian Western Cultural traditions.

"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"?

A holiday for beating the French.

What’s the big deal about that? Who doesn’t beat the French?
