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.’

Serrato then addressed his ‘LGTBQIA students as well as those ‘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 are ‘collecting more information about the situation.’
The spokesperson added: ‘At this time, it appears that the individual made the post on their own time, which is well within their rights.’
DailyMail.com has reached out to UO for comment on this story.
Serrato did jail time in connection to the hazing death of an 18-year old fraternity pledge at Fresno State University.
Serrato was an undergraduate student in 2012 when he was involved in Philip Dhanens’s alcohol-related death.
Police said Serrato and others egged Dhanens to drink dozens of shots. He had a 0.4 alcohol level when he died.

Serrato was one of the people who purchased the alcohol.
The 18-year-old had only been at college two weeks when he took part in a drinking binge at a off-campus fraternity house.
Serrato’s lawyer at the time told ABC the incident ‘had a huge effect on a number of people including Mr. Serrato and his family.’
The lawyer added: ‘[Serrato] is very remorseful that this young man, passed away at such an early age from this type of tragedy and he accepts responsibility for his actions and we’ll move forward from here.’
Serrato went on to work at Fresno State as an assistant advisor of fraternity and sorority life.
He then became an activist against hazing, using his experience to make speeches in colleges around the country.

Serrato was just one of many who issued questionable messages following Trump’s landslide electoral win
Serrato was just one of many who issued questionable messages following Trump’s landslide electoral win.
The editor of America’s oldest magazine launched an astonishing outburst against Republicans following Donald Trump’s electoral win this week.
Laura Helmuth, the editor-in-chief of Scientific American, went on a rampage against Trump supporters in now-deleted posts on social media, calling them fascists, racists and sexists.
‘I apologize to younger voters that my Gen X is so full of f*****g fascists,’ Helmuth wrote on the social media site Bluesky.
She also wrote: ‘Solidarity to everybody whose meanest, dumbest, most bigoted high-school classmates are celebrating early results because f**k them 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 remember why I respect the people who stayed and are trying to make it less racist and sexist.
‘The moral arc of the universe isn’t going to bend itself.’
