From the Daily Mail: A University of Oregon staffer with a dark past has posted a video telling Donald Trump voters to kill themselves following his electoral win this week.
Leonard Serrato, who works as Assistant Director of Fraternity and Sorority Life at the school, posted the inflammatory video on his Instagram, which he has since made private.
‘I’m done crying. My sadness is over. My anger has set in,’ Serrato said as he described himself as a ‘proudly petty person.’
He continued: ‘I’m saying this in the most disrespectful way possible – I don’t care if you are my family, I don’t care if you are my friend, I don’t care if we’ve been friends our entire lives – You can literally go f**ck yourself if you voted for Donald Trump.
‘If you are so sad about your groceries being expensive, get a f*****g better paying job. Do better in life. Get a f****g education. Do something, cause you’re f*****g stupid.’
“And I hope you go jump off of a f***ing bridge,” he declares.
A spokesperson for the University of Oregon told the school’s student newspaper, The Daily Emerald, that they are “collecting more information about the situation.”
“At this time, it appears that the individual made the post on their own time, which is well within their rights,” the spokesperson reportedly said.
Serrato, a gay man, originally posted the video to his Instagram page, but has since deleted it. However, copies of the video are already circulating on social media.

As the Daily Mail reports, Serrato does, indeed, have a dark past. While he works as an assistant director for fraternity and sorority affairs at the school, he actually served time in prison over the hazing death of an 18-year-old student at Fresno State University in 2012.
Serrato was among several others who challenged the student, Philip Dhanens, to participate in a drinking binge, and was one of the people who purchased the alcohol. Serrato has reportedly became an activist against hazing since being released from prison.

Veterans advocate Kristie Sheets reacted to a video clip of Serrato’s vile rant, and wrote, “University of Oregon assistant, Director of fraternity and sorority life @uoregon tells trump supporters to “kill themselves” on his Instagram meltdown.
“With a kid currently in a fraternity at UO I am calling for Leonard_Serrato to be FIRED and BANNED from UO campus.”
