Trump attacks 'ranting lunatic' Marjorie Taylor Greene — and calls for primary challenge

AlterNet is an opinion-oriented publisher, and this short piece offers limited independent reporting beyond Trump’s post and a brief account of Greene’s recent positions. It attributes the central statements and notes an attempt to obtain Greene’s comment.
