Wow, a guy acting like a piece of shit, as it turns out, is indeed a piece of shit.

It's nice to know, but the writing was on the wall the second he opened his mouth.

Putting up with him that long was a group manipulation effort that you participated in if you let him bully the entire group. Just band together and oust him if he's being that way. There was no sense in letting him run things that way. He doesn't get to wield an audience against you if you don't let him have one.

All he can do is piss and moan like the jerk he is, and that's all it would have been. Instead you let him control you because none of you stood up until it was too late.

The lesson to learn here is don't let people fuck with you. It's a super hard pill to swallow. I know. I've had to deal with it too. And in hindsight, my group let it go way too long too. The more you let people get away with it, the more they will.
