Likely confusion from using defective nouns that also serve as verbs

To eat humble pie means to make a humble apology and accept humiliation. What better puts this into perspective than the ‘turnaround’ by a section of disgruntled legislators from the Rift Valley led by vocal Senator Kipchumba Murkomen who, lately, have been very daring in defense of their kingpin, Deputy President William Ruto? While on a similar mission, Samuel Cherargei, the other loquacious Senator, appears to have taken a back seat lately.  No holds barred, they had raved, threatened, harangued and only fell short of foaming at the mouth because they believe some malevolent forces are out to scuttle Ruto’s bid for the presidency in 2022.

It is inadvisable for one to bite more than one can chew; a truism that clearly escaped the noisy troupe of legislators from the Rift Valley. But in a moment of lucidity, the cobwebs that obstructed the fore vision and mental faculties of the belligerents cleared, allowing sobriety to return.
