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.
