Try reinstalling brew, the installer may have installed the wrong type of brew or configured something incorrectly.
The official command to run after uninstalling brew is:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

from brew.sh

Or you can use their .pkg installer
