Fox News host Arthel Neville cut into a live feed of a campaign speech from former President Donald Trump to point out "many untruths."

The interruption happened Saturday, while Trump was visiting Cedar Rapids, Iowa. He made some "unhinged" comments during his speech, reiterating his false claim that the 2020 election was stolen, Rolling Stone reported.

Among other things, Trump said the election was "rigged" and that even Jesus would declare him the winner.

"I think if you had a real election and Jesus came down and God came down and said, 'I'm gonna be the scorekeeper here,' I think we'd win," he said, per Rolling Stone.

As Trump was giving his speech, Neville cut into the live feed to offer a fact-check of his claims.

"Well, the former president finally got around to some campaign promises amid lots of cheering as you heard," she said.

"Many untruths," she added. "The 2020 election was not rigged. It was not stolen."

Still, Neville mentioned that Trump is "way ahead" in the polls. She then tossed to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who was also giving a speech at a campaign rally in Iowa.

According to a new poll, conducted by NewsNation/Decision Desk HQ, 60% of Republican voters support Trump for president, followed by 11% who support DeSantis, and 10% who support former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley.
