A GOP outreach center that opened in 2021 in a Gwinnett County strip mall outside Atlanta has reportedly been replaced by 'an adult sex toys and novelties retailer.'

Georgia Republicans were widely mocked after their "Asian-American outreach center" in a Gwinnett County strip mall outside Atlanta was replaced by "an adult sex toys and novelties retailer."

In an attempt to counter Democratic growth in suburban Atlanta, Republican operatives established outreach centers, aiming to engage minority populations, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.


Former Senate candidate Herschel Walker even marked the center's first anniversary, highlighting national news coverage on GOP efforts to diversify their voter base. Ultimately, none of these efforts went according to plan.

The strip mall location, once bustling with Republican activities such as pastor roundtables and Lunar New Year celebrations, has undergone a remarkable transformation. It now houses an upscale sex shop—which of course caters to a completely different clientele.

The hilarious news had social media users cackling.


Despite initial intentions to engage non-white communities and encourage Republican voting, the AJC reports that these efforts fell short of expectations.

Georgia, once a solid Republican stronghold, has undergone a political transformation, emerging as a pivotal swing state. The state was key during the 2020 election, when then-candidate Joe Biden handily defeated former President Donald Trump's bid for re-election.

The reelection of both Republican Governor Brian Kemp and Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock in the 2022 midterms underscored the significance of these changes within the state, which now plays a major role in efforts to hold Trump accountable for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.

The aforementioned Herschel Walker went down to humiliating defeat after reports revealed he fathered several children out of wedlock, paid for a girlfriend's abortion, and pressured her to get a second one despite coming out against reproductive rights.

Walker also faced scrutiny regarding past violent behavior, including a 2001 incident when police confiscated a handgun after he frightened his ex-wife with his "volatile" behavior and a 2005 death threat he leveled at his ex-wife and her boyfriend.
