Barfing all over this!

Mike Huckabee is an infected boil on the face of America, so it's no surprise he would be totally offensive and inappropriate on Cinco de Mayo.

The former Governor of Arkansas and "bass guitarist" sent out a stupid ass tweet Friday to "celebrate" the holiday, and it's a doozy.

For Cinco de Mayo I will drink an entire jar of hot salsa and watch old Speedy Gonzales cartoons and speak Spanish all day. Happy CdMayo!
— Gov. Mike Huckabee (@GovMikeHuckabee) May 5, 2017

Maybe he'll choke on all that salsa! We can dream!

Obviously Twitter really let him have it. It was beautiful.

Well, it's Cinco de Mayo and a lot of tequila will be guzzled down today, but unfortunately there will also be some cultural appropriation.

But guess what? If you're not a total asshole who doesn't give a shit, you can avoid insulting an entire culture.

We're here to help!

Cinco De Mayo is right around the corner!

Which means it's that time of the year when (predominately white) college fraternities like to throw festive, Mexican-themed parties full of racist costumes and the occasional brown face!

Well, Baylor University got an early start on the cultural appropriation over the weekend when Kappa Sigma fraternity threw a "Mexican-themed" party — a party that caused so much outrage, it sparked a student-led protest on campus.

Students who attended the Saturday night event wore sombreros and serapes, images of which circulated on Twitter and led to an outcry of minority students:

*** WARNING: The following post is extremely graphic ***

An 11-year-old girl is currently recovering after an accident on a carnival ride over the weekend left her completely scalped.

Elizabeth "LuLu" Gilreath was taking part in Omaha, Nebraska's Cinco de Mayo festival on Saturday when her hair began to get tangled up in the mechanics of the ride she was on.

While her friend and other visitors tried to get the operator's attention, we're hearing LuLu was actually in distress for anywhere from five to ten minutes before the attraction finally came to a stop!

Unfortunately, that's when spectators noticed the pre-teen was laying bloody at the bottom of the ride — but luckily they were quick enough to fashion a make-shift tourniquet out of clothes for the young girl.

LuLu's mother Virginia Cooksey gave an update on her daughter's tragic injuries in a Facebook post Sunday, saying:

Float like a butterfly, sting like Samantha Bee!

As we reported, Donald Trump posted an extremely weird message on Cinco De Mayo where he tried to prove his love of Hispanics by eating a taco bowl from his own restaurant.

Many criticized the post as being insincere, self-serving, and just plain odd!

On Thursday, the Full Frontal host posted the best response to Trump's post on her Twitter account!

Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan must have made up behind the scenes. Why else would they trust them with blunt instruments already??

On Thursday morning's LIVE!, the cohosts welcomed Captain America: Civil War star Robert Downey Jr. — and in honor of Cinco de Mayo they let him take a swing at a Captain America piñata!

But when Iron Man couldn't hit the sweet spot, he stepped aside for the formerly (?) feuding hosts.

Worth noting that Michael courteously let Kelly have the first swing — and she was even looking out for him, noticing that he was standing in the path of her backswing!

Whew! Watch the close call that could have ended up in another Civil War (above)!

Donald Trump sure knows what he's doing!

The presidential hopeful, who is now the presumptive nominee after Ted Cruz and John Kasich dropped out of the race, took to Twitter on Thursday to wish his supporters a Happy Cinco De Mayo!

Awwww, how sweet… that would have been if the post wasn't slathered in self-promotion!
