refute


to disagree, or -ssert the opposite.
(the original meaning was to disprove something: “he refuted their claims by referring to widely accepted experimental results”. but these days journalists who are unwilling or unable to -ssess the strength of an argument, or to check facts, just write “refute”.)
“the prime minister refuted the suggestion that he was a fool, by saying that he wasn’t.”
