Man Arrested for Threatening Ben Shapiro, Podcaster Discusses Ongoing Security Concerns
Conservative commentator Ben Shapiro revealed his family has required security for a decade following an arrest for online threats.
Korby Allen Strube, 29, was arrested in Florida on suspicion of posting antisemitic threats online, including messages targeting conservative podcaster Ben Shapiro. Strube allegedly made menacing posts, including a countdown to Yom Kippur and insinuations of harm to Shapiro, according to police records. The threats also extended to President Trump and Joe Rogan.
Strube's arrest occurred in Palm Beach County, Florida, where Shapiro resides with his family. The specific reason for Strube, a Kansas native, being in Florida is unclear. The arrest comes as Shapiro spoke with CBN News about the persistent security measures his family has had to undertake.
"I’ve had 24/7 security for the last 10 years," Shapiro stated in the interview. He explained that security personnel have accompanied him and his family daily for the past decade due to his prominent role as a conservative commentator. Shapiro, 42, has been a vocal figure in conservative media for many years, hosting The Ben Shapiro Show and co-founding The Daily Wire.
