scoff

My instinct is to scoff at that idea.

Hochman, who ran as an independent in a race during which Gascón repeatedly tried to paint him as an ultraconservative, scoffed at the idea that partisanship had anything to do with Tuesday’s results.

He never followed a script, scoffed at the rules and spoke directly to the economic and cultural anxieties of the country in between grievances about his own perceived mistreatment.

The Harris campaign has scoffed and eye-rolled when Trump has lashed out, but also ridiculed him as “unhinged” and goaded him into being even less in control.

When I said maybe it was better if he stayed home, in case things got out of control, Papi scoffed.
