This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Speaker of the Saskatchewan Legislature has cut up his party membership card and accused some members in Premier Scott Moe's caucus of intimidating him to the point that he fears the government house leader is packing a handgun.
Randy Weekes told the chamber Thursday that when Government House Leader Jeremy Harrison disagreed with his rules, Harrison would yell, text Weekes, make threatening gestures and occasionally flash the inside of his suit jacket as if to reveal a concealed weapon.
Moe said Weekes has "sour grapes" from losing his nomination to represent the party in the Kindersley-Biggar constituency for the upcoming fall election.
Last month, Weekes ordered Finance Minister Donna Harpauer to apologize for sending him a text message critical of how he was overseeing the house.
Weekes said he was bombarded by texts from Harrison, including one that used an expletive to characterize a ruling felt to be unfairly in favour of the Opposition NDP.
Lori Carr, the deputy government house leader, also frequently texted Weekes about proceedings in the legislature, he added.
