Gilroy Usher Sr. Says He Has Not Seen His Son’s FB Post  

On Monday, former Port Loyola Area Representative Anthony “Boots” Martinez called P.U.P. Standard Bearer Gilroy Usher Senior a failure. Martinez, who is running for the seat on March twelfth, accused Usher of not improving the lives of constituents over the past four years. Surprisingly, Gilroy Usher Junior has sided with his father’s opponent, posting on Facebook that Port Loyola residents were better off under Martinez’s leadership. We spoke with Usher Senior today to get his response to Martinez’s claims, but first, here’s what he had to say about his son’s comments.

 

Gilroy Usher, P.U.P. Candidate, Port Loyola

“I will tell you the truth, I have not seen the post so I cannot comment on a post I have not seen.”

 

Paul Lopez

“I am telling you exactly what the post says.”

 

Gilroy Usher

“Well, I am telling you I haven’t seen the post.”

Paul Lopez

“What would trigger him to say something like that?”

 

Gilroy Usher

“Well you would have to go ask him. I haven’t seen the post so I cant comment on it.”

 

Paul Lopez

“How detrimental would this be to your candidacy?”

 

Gilroy Usher

“I cannot comment on a post I have not seen. So if I were to make a comment I would be prejudging something I have not seen.”

 

Paul Lopez

“Is this uncharacteristic of him or unlike him to oppose you knowing well that you are family member.”

 

Gilroy Usher

“Again I am saying I have not seen the post. I cannot comment on what somebody else is telling me or saying or so. I Gilroy Usher the Area Rep for Port Loyola has not seen the post.”

 

Paul Lopez

“If and when you see it, is it comment you would hope he didn’t make in public?”

 

Gilroy Usher

“I don’t want to prejudge. I have not seen the comment.”

 

Paul Lopez

So can I show you the comments or you don’t want to see the comments??

 

Gilroy Usher

“I don’t want to prejudge, I am not a Facebook person and I don’t follow what is on Facebook., because many times things are written on Facebook with fake profile and all kinds of thing. So I am not one that takes Facebook word for word.”
