A University of Oregon employee who told Trump voters to commit suicide has kissed his job goodbye.
Leonard Serrato is “no longer an employee,” the university said in a statement to DailyMail.com, after he was placed on leave after making the shady comments in a video that surfaced in November.
The school called the reason for his dismissal “personal” and did not elaborate on why he no longer holds the position.
Serrato worked as the associate director of Fraternity and Sorority Life at the University of Oregon before posting a video on Instagram with the shocking message for Republican voters.
‘I’m done crying. My sorrow is over. My anger has begun,” said Serrato, who described 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 before. whole 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 stupid and I hope you jump off that 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 said KOIN in November that it was conducting an investigation into the matter.
“The University of Oregon finds the statements in the video abhorrent and inconsistent 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 prison time in connection with the hazing of an 18-year-old fraternity pledge at Fresno State University.
He 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 a blood alcohol level of 0.4 when he died.

Serrato was one of the people who bought the alcohol.
Dhanens had only been at university for two weeks when he took part in a drinking binge in an off-campus dorm.
Serrato’s attorney told ABC at the time that the incident “had a tremendous impact on a number of people, including Mr. Serrato and his family.”
The attorney added, “(Serrato) deeply regrets that this young man died from this type of tragedy at such a young age and he accepts responsibility for his actions and we will move forward from here.”

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 platform 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.”
