Satisfying punishment for University of Oregon worker who told Trump voters to kill themselves

A University of Oregon staffer who told Trump voters to kill themselves has kissed his job goodbye.

The university announced that Leonard Serrato is no longer working with them, according to a statement given to DailyMail.com. This decision came after he had been put on leave for making troubling comments in a video that was uploaded shortly after Trump was announced as the victor of the November election.

The school cited the reason for his dismissal as ‘personal’ and did not elaborate on why he no longer holds the position. 

Serrato worked as Assistant Director of Fraternity and Sorority Life at the University of Oregon before he posted a video on Instagram with the shocking message for Republican voters. 

‘I’m done crying. My sadness is over. My anger has set in,’ Serrato said, describing 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**k 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 a f*****g bridge.’

 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.

The university told KOIN in November that it was conducting an investigation into the matter. 

‘The University of Oregon finds the statements made in the video abhorrent and not in alignment with our values or mission,’ the college said. 

‘We appreciate the conflict between his statements, his role in Student Life at the University, and our institutional values.’ 

Serrato had previously served jail time in connection with the hazing of an 18-year-old fraternity pledge at Fresno State University. 

He 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 blood alcohol level when he died.

Serrato was one of the people who purchased the alcohol.

Dhanens had only been at college two weeks when he took part in a drinking binge at an off-campus fraternity house.

Serrato’s lawyer at the time told ABC that 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 was just one of many who issued questionable messages following Trump’s electoral win.

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 platform 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.’
