Following the 2024 presidential election, University of Oregon Assistant Director of Fraternity and Sorority Life Leonard Serrato took his thoughts to his public social media page about newly re-elected President Donald Trump. 

In an Instagram story, Serrato said to followers, which included some UO students, to “go f— yourself if you voted for Donald Trump.” 

Serrato also described Trump voters as “stupid” and that he doesn’t “care” if any life-long friends disagreed with him.

“If you are sad about your groceries being expensive, get a better f—ing paying job. Do better in life,” Serrato said. “Get a f—ing education. Do something, cause you’re f—ing stupid.” 

Serrato concluded his story, saying “I hope you go jump off of a f—ing bridge,” with a peace sign.

Serrato later posted an Instagram Reel where he was discussing the results of the presidential election. He addressed his students, including of “color” and “LGBTQIA” and said to “take care of yourself and know that you have my support.” 

Following the post, Serrato made his Instagram account private. 

Eric Howald, a UO spokesperson, said that the “university is currently 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,” Howald said. 

Serrato declined to comment on this story.
