American Conservatives Take A Victory Lap After Brexit Vote [View all]

The U.K. voted on Thursday to leave the European Union, favoring a campaign driven by a groundswell of nationalist, anti-immigrant sentiments that don't look so different from those powering Donald Trump's campaign.

While the vote sparked a global economic panic and drove Prime Minister David Cameron to announce he would step down, it was cause for major celebration among some American conservatives.

Here are just a few of their responses:

#Brexit will be cause to celebrate on both sides of the Atlantic since it rebuilds Britain as a true global power.
