On Tuesday, 3 November 2026, the rapper posted an image that appears to have been created by artificial intelligence. The picture shows the red‑haired Chucky doll dressed in a pink suit and holding a badge that reads “Vote Red”, a visual urging supporters to vote for Republican candidates. Filmmaker Don Mancini, the creator of the Chucky character, replied on X. He posted a photo of a real‑life Chucky doll holding a Glenda figurine and wrote that “Chucky has a trans kid” and that “Chucky is anti‑ICE”. He also added that a “BLUE WAVE” is coming. Mancini’s response also referenced the election outcome, noting that Democrats had taken back control of both the Senate and the House of Representatives. The article recalled Minaj’s long‑standing use of Chucky imagery, her 2019 Halloween costume with husband Kenneth Petty, and his 2022 sentence of three years’ probation and a year of home detention for failing to register as a sex offender. It also recorded that Minaj’s 2024 releases reached No. 23 and No. 68 on the Billboard Hot 100. > “Chucky has a trans kid,” Mancini wrote on X. > > — Don Mancini, filmmaker ## Blindspot No right‑rated outlet published this story, leaving the right‑leaning side without any coverage of the AI Chucky image, Mancini’s remarks, or the election context. ## Who covered it Shares of the 12 covering outlets with a published leaning rating: - Left: 83% (10) - Centre: 9% (1) - Right: 8% (1) 2 of 14 covering outlets carried no usable leaning rating and were excluded from those percentages.
