Republican congressional candidate Michael Carbonara has crashed out on social media after the michaelcarbonaraexposed.com website published details about his past and current business dealings, his support for Data Centers, his support for Democrats, and the recent allegations made about him over possible Free Speech infringements after numerous stories about him were hit with bogus copyright infringement complaints.
During a video he posted on social media to denounce the aforementioned website attacking him, Carbonara used some of the same images and language that an illicit and foreign-based anti-Askar site has been using to attack Askar.
Coincidence?
Carbonara appears to have eluded that Askar is an extremist. The attack ad, which is being controlled by a shadowy group that has also emailed defamatory literature against Askar, has also referred to him as an "Iraqi extremist."
Keep that in mind.
Carbonara, in a subsequent reply to a message that was posted in response to this video, referred to Askar as "an Iraqi from Michigan, we all saw what happened there."
Is this "Iraqi from Michigan" a slight to try to link Askar to the radicalization of the muslim community in that state?
Askar states that he is a "devout Christian."
Carbonara takes issue over the website aligning him with Bernie Madorff and Jeffrey Epstein.
FACT: Both Madorff and Epstein have been named or charged in federal fraud or theft cases. Only Epstein has been named or charged in a federal sexual assault case.
“As alleged, Jeffrey Epstein abused underage girls for years, operating a scheme in which girls he victimized would recruit others for Epstein to exploit and abuse. Epstein exploited girls who were vulnerable to abuse, enticed them with cash payments, and escalated his conduct to include sex acts, often occurring at his residence on the Upper East Side of Manhattan."

FACT: Epstein was named, but never charged, in a federal case.
"The complaint also alleges that Epstein would not have been able to expand his illegal operations "without complicit financial banking institutions that would ignore red flags and assist him in his sex-trafficking scheme."—(Source: CBS News)
FACT: Carbonara has been named in both a federal sexual assault case and a federal theft case.
Sexual Assault Case
In the video, Carbonara asserts that he was "never accused of any assault." He is referring to the sexual assault case that he was named it. The MichaelCarbonaraexposed.com website does not accuse Carbonara of having committed a sexual assault. It only says that he was named in a case of sexual assault. This is fact.
Website: "Like Pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, Michael Carbonara is named in a federal sexual assault case"
According to the legal fillings about this case, Carbonara is named as a defendant in the case, but is not accused of the crime.
$18 Million Theft Allegation
Website: "Like Scammer Bernie Madoff and Pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, Carbonara is named in a federal court case for theft. Carbonara is being sued and accused of stealing $18 million."
Carbonara states that the $18 million theft claim is absurd, but does not go any further into why he is being accused of theft. Just a few days ago, a federal judge ruled against Carbonara's bid to dismiss the lawsuit.
"Judge Ellen D’Angelo’s August 3, 2026, verdict rejecting the bid by Ibanera, a US-headquartered money service business, and its principal, Michael Carbonara, to dismiss a lawsuit alleging they had kept some $20m owned by the Lyford Cay-based institution and its clients for their “own benefit”—(Source: The Tribune)
Potential Censorship of Media
Website: "It looks as if he is trying to make potentially negative media stories disappear from Google by filing false copyright complaints against media outlets."
Numerous media outlets have been targeted by bogus copyright infringement claims. The only stories targeted were those that reference Carbonara.
Here are The Floridian stories in question:

Carbonara has yet to denounce the illicit website against Askar.
The primary election is August 18.
