There's a couple hundred arguments as to why that's horse shit, but give only a couple:
The brexit that was promised and voted for was not the one that was delivered, nor was it even possible.
By the time it actually happened and the protests were happening enough of the pro brexit population had died that if the same vote where to happen the exact same way, remain would have won.
