Fox Business Network’s Mornings with Maria booked John Browne, a semi-regular guest on FBN, to discuss Thursday’s referendum about whether the U.K. should remain in the E.U. or leave it: the so-called Brexit. Unfortunately, guest host Sandra Smith mis-took her guest John Browne for Lord John Browne who wrote an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal imploring voters to keep the U.K in the European Union. It didn’t help matters when the John Browne who was on the show never corrected Smith during the 5-minute discussion.
But Lord John Browne, the one who wrote that op-ed and who is the former CEO of BP, took to Twitter to explain things:
This man is not me and – I do not support Brexit! @FoxNews @MorningsMaria https://t.co/rZds4TZXIL

Connell McShane issued a correction this afternoon. Smith will also correct the record tomorrow morning, when she fills in again for Maria Bartiromo.
