University of Oregon staffer tells Trump voters to kill themselves after his election victory
A University of Oregon employee with a dark past has posted a video telling Donald Trump’s voters to commit suicide following his election victory this week.
Leonard Serrato, who works as the assistant director of Fraternity and Sorority Life at the school, posted the inflammatory video to his Instagram, which he has since made private.
‘I’m done crying. My sorrow is over. My anger has begun,” Serrato said, describing himself as a “proudly petty person.”
He continued, “I say this in the most disrespectful way possible – I don’t care if you’re my family, I don’t care if you’re my friend, I don’t care if we’ve been friends all our lives – You can literally fuck yourself if you voted for Donald Trump.
‘If you think it’s a shame that your groceries are so expensive, look for a better-paying job. Do better in life. Get a damn education. Do something, because you’re fucking stupid.’

Serrato then addressed his “LGTBQIA” students and “students of color.”
“Take care of yourself and know that you have my support,” he said.
UO’s student newspaper, The Daily Emerald, reported that a school spokesperson said they were “gathering more information about the situation.”
The spokesperson added: ‘At this time it appears the individual made the post on his own time, which is well within his rights.’
DailyMail.com has contacted UO for comment on this story.
Serrato has served prison time in connection with the hazing of an 18-year-old fraternity pledge at Fresno State University.
Serrato was a student in 2012 when he was involved in the alcohol-related death of Philip Dhanens.
Police said Serrato and others pushed Dhanens to drink dozens of shots. He had an alcohol level of 0.4 when he died.

Serrato was one of the people who bought the alcohol.
The 18-year-old had only been in college for two weeks when he took part in a drinking binge at an off-campus dorm.
Serrato’s attorney told ABC at the time that the incident “had a tremendous effect on a number of people, including Mr. Serrato and his family.”
The lawyer added: ‘[Serrato] is deeply remorseful that this young man died at such a young age from this type of tragedy and he accepts responsibility for his actions and we will move forward from here.”
Serrato went to work at Fresno State as an assistant advisor of fraternity and sorority life.
He subsequently became an anti-hazing activist and used his experience to give speeches at colleges across the country.

Serrato was just one of many who spread questionable messages after Trump’s landslide election victory
Serrato was just one of many who spread questionable messages after Trump’s landslide election victory.
The editor of America’s oldest magazine launched a stunning outburst against Republicans following Donald Trump’s election victory this week.
Scientific American editor-in-chief Laura Helmuth railed against Trump supporters in now-deleted social media posts, calling them fascists, racists and sexists.
“I apologize to the younger voters that my Gen X is so full of damn fascists,” Helmuth wrote on the social media site Bluesky.
She also wrote: “Solidarity for everyone whose meanest, stupidest and most intolerant high school classmates are celebrating their first results because they have to go to the moon and back.”
Helmuth then went after her own home state: “Every four years I remember why I left Indiana (where I grew up) and why I respect the people who stayed and tried to make it less racist and sexist.
“The moral arc of the universe will not bend itself.”
