dissembling

In this case, Walz was paying attention when Vance, asked about Trump’s efforts to steal the 2020 election, did his usual cool and collected dissembling of it as all a big misunderstanding.

Mr. Trump began by speaking in his usual discursive, dissembling manner.

“The culmination of Russia’s campaign of diplomatic gaslighting and dissembling is the text before us today,” U.S. deputy ambassador Robert Wood told the council.

These justices, including Barrett, sounded increasingly fed up with his chin-stroking dissembling on an issue that’s literally life-or-death for pregnant women in red states.

The lawyer’s only innovation here is repurposing such dissembling for a moment when Hamas is the bête noire that can be invoked in any controversy, no matter how unrelated.
