Chucky creator Don Mancini answered Nicki Minaj’s Republican Chucky on Election Day with a rundown of the doll’s politics. “Chucky has a trans kid. Chucky protects the dolls. Chucky is anti-ICE,” Mancini wrote on X at 4:24 p.m. PT on Tuesday, Nov. 3.
Minaj’s post had landed at 9:04 a.m. PT. “HAPPY ELECTION DAY!!!” she wrote over an AI-generated Chucky in a pink suit and a “Vote Red” pin, according to Rolling Stone.
“IMPOSTER. CHUCKY IS PART OF THE BLUE WAVE THAT WILL WASH AWAY ALL THE CORRUPTION,” Mancini shot back under her post at 4:40 p.m.
His first post ended with a line in the doll’s voice. “Chucky says ‘A BLUE WAVE is coming, as BLUE as my fuckin’ eyes!'” The photo shows Chucky with an “I Voted” sticker, holding what Complex called a Glenda figurine.
Then came a Chucky with blue hair. “Too bad, Nicki! No AI, by the way!” Mancini wrote.
Does Chucky Have a Trans Kid? Meet Glen and Glenda
In 2004’s “Seed of Chucky,” Chucky calls his child Glen, while his wife, Tiffany (voiced by Jennifer Tilly), calls the same child Glenda, Entertainment Weekly noted. In the second episode of the 2021 “Chucky” TV series, Chucky tells teenage Jake, “You know, I have a queer kid,” as Rolling Stone recounted, and then describes the child as genderfluid.
“And you’re cool with it?” Jake asks.
“I’m not a monster, Jake,” the doll answers.
Lachlan Watson played Glen and Glenda as twins in Season 2, the characters’ first return since “Seed of Chucky,” according to USA Network. “Our characters are treated just like everyone else’s characters are treated,” Watson said.
Mancini told Gizmodo in 2022 that “it was important to all of us, including Lachlan, that we honor the trans experience through our own cockeyed metaphorical lens.”
Mancini, who is gay, explained the Season 1 finale’s “so gay” jab at Jake and his boyfriend, Devon, to Syfy in 2021. “When he says ‘That’s so gay,’ it’s almost like I can say that to one of my gay friends because we’re both gay,” he said.
Mancini told Syfy the show’s gay teen lead was there for “young queer horror fans.” The series lasted three seasons on Syfy and USA Network before it was canceled in September 2024, Variety noted.
This April, JoBlo reported that he’s writing the next Chucky movie and plans to direct it, with a theatrical release as the goal. “I’m also, actually, in the early stages of working on a new Chucky movie,” Mancini had told the Scream Dreams podcast in March 2024, Bloody Disgusting reported. Gayety covered his Season 3 plans the next month.
Nicki Minaj’s Port Huron Rally and Her ‘STAY MAD’ Post
“I WANT THAT THUG IN JAIL!!!!!” Minaj wrote about journalist Don Lemon in January, Gayety reported. She’d aimed Chucky at Lemon that month too, Rolling Stone noted, over his coverage of an anti-ICE protest at a St. Paul church.
On Oct. 25, she joined President Donald Trump onstage at a rally in Port Huron, Michigan, and went after gender-affirming care for trans youth. “We don’t want our children to be bombarded with sex changes, right?” Minaj told the crowd, as Gayety reported.
The midterms went the other way, with Democrats winning majorities in the House and the Senate, AP results on PBS News show. “Trump is STILL your PRESIDENT,” read the first item on a numbered list Minaj posted at 6:01 p.m. PT Wednesday, Billboard reported.
“The QUEEN is STILL your OBSESSION,” came next.
Another line read, “Stay tuned & STAY MAD.”
Minaj hadn’t answered Mancini on X as of Friday morning, Nov. 6.
