Former Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson said Friday that the "punditry" got it wrong — yet, again — with the surprise Brexit vote in the United Kingdom.

"The pundits and the polls all predicted a very different result," the retired pediatric neurosurgeon told host Eric Bolling on "The O'Reilly Factor" on Fox News. "I don't think they understood the level of frustration of the British populist.

"The hourly workers who are seeing their jobs lost to people coming in who don't necessarily share their same values and culture.

"Many, particularly the punditry, think that they actually know what's going on — and they think they actually know the mind of the American people," said Carson, a Donald Trump supporter. "I don't think they do."
