After years of publicly celebrating Cinco de Mayo with margaritas, Jemele Hill declares Cinco de Mayo has 'nothing to do with margaritas'

The Atlantic’s Jemele Hill wants everyone to know that Cinco de Mayo “has nothing to do with margaritas”:

Along the same lines of my last tweet, here’s the real reason Cinco De Mayo is celebrated. Spoiler alert: It has nothing to do with margaritas, sombreros or fake mustaches https://t.co/7pHIOhaDvj

Weird. She didn’t always oppose celebrating Cinco de Mayo with the iconic frosty beverage.

From 2010:

A fun debate in honor of #CincoDeMayo. What's the best tequila?

From 2011:

2nd mission: It's Cinco De Mayo and I need a bomb margarita recipe. Gimme it.

Also from 2016 (we’re assuming this is from drinking too many margaritas, right?):

Maybe when a Dem is president again we can go back to enjoying tequila on this holiday?

Good morning to everyone except the people who support building a wall, and spend considerable time marginalizing brown people, but will drink 30 magaritas and wear a sombrero today. Nobody has any use for you.
