#4 It marks the day indigenous Mexican forces defeated the French at the Battle of Puebla. It's not even a national holiday in Mexico. It was used as a marketing gimmick to sell Mexican themed beer in the US.

#10 I just did a Related search on Cinco de Mayo, only to discover that in 2017 Philadelphia did exactly the same thing.

But not since. So it’s clearly a first year of the term reaction. We can look forward to the same happening again the first year of whoever wins for the Republicans four years from now.

#12 Cover Story.

Seriously, if this were an activist point, wouldn't they want to go double, show how great it is?
