‘Big Bang Theory’ Star Johnny Galecki on Kavanaugh’s Confirmation: ‘Our Political System Is Broken’

.... Galecki, who plays Leonard on the CBS sitcom, wrote, “No matter what your political opinion/affiliation might be, we must admit that these decisions are not made by ‘the voice of the people.' ”​ ....

​“Kavanaugh was nominated by a candidate who lost the popular vote by 3 million-plus votes,” Galecki’s message read.

“The 49 Senators who voted ‘No’ on Kavanaugh represent 181.8 million Americans,” he continued. “The 51 Senators who voted ‘Yes’ represent 143.2 million.”

The message concluded, “Our political system is broken.”​
