May resigned as the U.K.'s prime minister on Wednesday, giving a goodbye speech outside 10 Downing Street where she said she hoped "every young girl who has seen a woman prime minister now knows for sure there are no limits to what they can achieve." But as May went to thank her husband, she was interrupted by a bellowing protester who seemingly ordered her to "Stop Brexit."
