Current Events > Shuttered GOP Outreach Center Now Home to Sex Toy Shop

When national Republicans opened a new Asian American outreach center in the Gwinnett County suburbs in 2021, an enormous crowd of local dignitaries and state officials packed the Berkeley Lake shop to celebrate.

Then Senate candidate Herschel Walker commemorated its first anniversary a year later, and multiple national news outlets focused on the center for stories on GOP efforts to expand the partys base into new minority populations.

Now the strip mall spot where the Republican National Committee once held pastor roundtables and Lunar New Year celebrations is home to something different and decidedly more spicy: An adult sex toys and novelties retailer catering to an upscale crowd.

The space is part of a wave of RNC outreach centers that have closed in recent years, including at least two others in the Atlanta suburbs that Republicans had opened to great fanfare for minority outreach.

The downsizing is a part of the RNCs apparent shift away from a yearslong effort to open minority outreach centers in battleground states. And it highlights President Joe Bidens current ground game advantage as former President Trump treks to Atlanta for a high-dollar event to try and narrow Republicans fundraising gap.

The Biden campaign recently announced plans to open seven new offices across the state and hire a contingent of staffers devoted to driving up Democratic turnout. Trumps campaign has a smaller organizational footprint in Georgia, and is relying on the Georgia GOP and other surrogates.

Makes me wonder what Trump Tower will end up becoming once the Orange Man finally loses it.
