malarky

If Democrats want to see me clapping, they can drop the saccharine “malarky, by gosh” shtick and lay down some bare-knuckle brutal politics like the GOP has used against them at every turn.

Mr. Biden last week called the Burisma executive’s bribery claims “malarky,” and the president has repeatedly denied any involvement or knowledge in his family’s business deals.

Rep. James Comer of Kentucky, the top Republican on the House Oversight Committee, called the Secret Services’ claim that the president had no visitors “a bunch of malarky,” borrowing one of Mr. Biden’s favorite catchphrases.

President Eisenhower knew that the missile gap was a load of malarky.

It was the kind of mistake that could be made only in preparation for a Biden rally: She misspelled “malarkey” on a sign that declared, “No more malarky!”
