“Even though the cost to replace the flag totaled around $36,600 . . .”

“$36,000”
This generally represents how all such political organization scams work.
1) establish left wing group.
2) establish bank account for the entity.
3) have a comrade open a business that provides a “service” (such as flag making).
4) tax exempt entity rakes in donations.
4) tax exempt entity buys “supplies” that the comrade radically overcharges for.
5) comrades buy nice houses for themselves.
