Social media erupts over Boris Johnson
The chaos continues following Britain's Brexit vote to leave the European Union and Prime Minister David Cameron's decision to resign following the referendum. On Thursday, the race to become Britain's next prime minister took a wild turn when former London Mayor Boris Johnson, a colorful public figure and one of Brexit's most vocal backers, ruled himself out of the race for Conservative Party leadership.
As the news broke, social media users, including celebrities, took to the Twittersphere to unleash on Johnson for carrying out his own "Brexit" of sorts. Here are some of the most memorable social media moments:
