The controversial slugger, who was with the team for two World Series title runs, said the fallout over some players writing Bible verses on their Pride Night hats was absurd ... and he defended legendary Giants player and front office honcho Buster Poseyfor holding court with the media, only to deflect all questions about Pride Night.
Had he been in Buster's shoes, Huff says he would have responded ... "I'm not wearing this gay bulls***. Queers don't watch Baseball anyway. They watch 'The View,' enjoy therapy, & f**** p***ing sessions. And anyone inside the LGBTQ community, or those who support them don't like what I just said, then I say to you…. Go f*** yourselves, & eat a d***. And I mean that in the most literal sense."
Donald Trump's rally in Pennsylvania took an unwanted detour into Epstein-ville ... thanks to a heckler with a loud mouth and two raised middle fingers ... and the protestor thinks the President is a "pedophile."

The Senator from Pennsylvania Senator ripped the "Seinfeld" creator for recently saying the fights held on President Donald Trump's birthday on the South Lawn made him "embarrassed to be an American."
Fetterman's got 3 words for Larry ... and while the movie reference goes over Jacob's head, what the Senator is trying to get across here is that the UFC event isn't un-American and Larry needs to get over himself.
The clearer water makes a mysterious jagged line at the bottom of the Pool more evident. This is what President Trump was apparently zeroing in on to make a case the Reflecting Pool was vandalized by a sharp object.

Dana White says "he doesn't give a s*** what you are" -- gay or straight, everyone is welcome in the UFC -- but don't hold your breath waiting for the promotion to have a Pride Night, 'cause it ain't happening.
During an interview with Outkick's Tomi Lahren, the UFC honcho was asked why they don't host Pride Nights ... as other major sports organizations do, including the NBA, NHL, and MLB.
"I'm staring at my roster of top 15 fighters. I'm assuming we have some gay fighters. I don't know how many are open. I know that we have some gay female fighters," White said. "I don't give a s***. I don't care what you are, who you are, what you do, we don't talk about that, any of that stuff."
Dana added ... "I'm in the fight business, so it's a little different. Baseball is like America's Game. I stay in my lane, man. Whatever all these other guys are doing, good luck to ya."

Former Olympic canoeist David Hearn's legal team is pushing back hard against allegations he vandalized the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool ... insisting his arrest was completely unwarranted and is being used as a distraction from the botched renovation.
Hearn's attorneys tell TMZ the allegations don't hold water, saying ..."Treating ordinary conduct as criminal diverts attention from the real questions of how this project was managed, including its corrupt no-bid contracting process."
The former athlete's lawyers took a swipe at President Trump too ... "Using the criminal justice system to target innocent people as a form of distraction is textbook authoritarian behavior."
Rep. TroyNehlssays anyone caught vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool should be thrown in prison and forced to sell off their possessions to pay for another refurbishment ... and if they have dogs, well tough luck, the pooches will being taken too!!!
Charliecaught up with the Texas Congressman on Capitol Hill and he unloaded on the folks he believes are responsible for the Reflecting Pool falling apart ... and -- spoiler alert -- it's not the people who won a no-bid contract to do the pricey reno.
Rep. Nehls says prison time isn't enough for these vandals ... and he lays out a punishment plan that's guaranteed to raise some eyebrows.
The Republican repeatedly defended the restoration project and blamed folks with Trump derangement syndrome for ruining the "beautiful" Pool ... and he even took political swipes at the algae.
If something in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool caused a bunch of ducks to drop dead, we should find out soon ... necropsies are being performed on the animals as we speak.
City Wildlife, a wildlife rescue and rehabilitation group in Washington, DC, tells TMZ ... they've submitted samples from two ducks for necropsies after the birds were found dead at the National Mall.
In a statement, rep for the group tells us ... "City Wildlife routinely conducts necropsies on ducks found deceased on the National Mall when the cause of death is unknown."
President Trump's explanation for fresh damage at the recently renovated Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool isn't holding water ... 'cause two pool experts tell TMZ this doesn't look like the work of vandals.
Take the plunge and watch our "TMZ Live" debate ... an anonymous pool surfacing expert and veteran pool consultant Rudy Stankowitz joined us to break down what they believe really caused the mess ... and both say the problem likely started during construction.
Trump says vandalsare to blame ... but both experts told us the problem looks self-inflicted. They pointed to installation issues -- not sabotage -- as the likely cause.
Donald Trumpsays the Parks Department has evidence someone gashed the new liner in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool with a knife ... but taking Trump at his word and finding said evidence is a wild goose duck chase ... as our own Jacobis quickly finding out.
POTUS referred reporters to the Parks Department when he was being peppered with questions Monday about what evidence he has that vandals are to blame for a 300-foot gash in the Pool liner ... so Jacob called the Parks Department today, and when he struck out, he showed up on their doorstep.
Check out Jacob's clip ... he explains all the hoops he's been jumping through to follow up with Trump's claims ... which are falling apart faster than the Pool renovation.
President Trump looks like he's trying catch those pesky pool vandals with some fancy new technology ... because new A.I. surveillance systems were just installed at the the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.
Our Charlie Cotton noticed these new A.I. security cameras being wheeled over to the Reflecting Pool on Monday -- the same day Trump claimed vandals carved a 300-foot long gash into the brand new Pool liner -- and when Charlie returned Tuesday, the surveillance systems were installed and running ... keeping a watchful eye over the Pool.
This is more than just an eye in the sky ... this A.I. features real-time tracking, intrusion detection, HD monitoring, strobe lights, automated spotlights and loud, talk-down horn speaker.
Donald Trump's name has officially been scrubbed from the Kennedy Center ... and while the new look is still blocked by scaffolding and a tarp, we're finally seeing behind the mask.
Take a peek behind the giant tarp that has been covering part of the Kennedy Center's facade where Trump's name once hung. Thanks to photos obtained by Hands off the Arts ... we can now see the iconic venue without the Trump signage that sparked major controversy.
Trump's name didn't come down quietly ... after months of legal wrangling, courts sided with folks who argued the Trump-controlled Kennedy Center board never had the power to rename the iconic venue in the first place ... ordering Trump's name stripped from the building, website, and other official materials.
Ducks who live near President Trump's White House might want to think about flying south for the summer ... because two more ducks were found dead in a pond on the National Mall amid the ongoing Reflecting Pool disaster.
If you can stomach another photo of a dead duck, this one was taken Sunday afternoon and is even more upsetting.
The bird was pulled out of the water and left on the walkway, covered in plant matter and what looks like green slime, which can only mean one thing -- algae.
The carcass was found at Constitution Gardens, about 250 feet from the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool ... where a duckling was previously found dead following a botched $16 million renovation and algae attack.
A New York City coffee shop is in hot water with the feds ... the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division is investigating after staff banned a pro-Israel politician.
Here's the deal ... Poetica Coffee's Park Slope location slammed Rep. Dan Goldman on their Facebook page after he purchased a drink from them over the weekend ... issuing him a refund and saying they "don't serve racists, fascists, homophobes, genocide enablers, or anyone in between."
