In CBS’s Madam Secretary episode on Sunday titled “The Detour,” Elizabeth McCord's (Tea Leoni) husband, Henry (Tim Daly), is brought into an FBI investigation of a Christian doomsday cult called the Covenant of John. Raided by authorities in their operation in Bolivia while he was there, Henry has knowledge of the militia group and sets out to determine if Rex Mayfield (James McCaffery), a cult member now living in eastern Virginia, is the bomb-maker responsible for selling a bomb used on an Illinois coffee shop attack on orders from ISIS leader al-Mutaya.
Christians working with ISIS? Far-fetched indeed. The raid on Mayfield’s property in Virginia proves he has made an even bigger bomb and the FBI must find it before it goes off. Under questioning, Mayfield is painted as an ignorant rube when he states the plan is to bring about an apocalypse – a battle between the Crusaders and the Faithful on “the plains of Dubuque.” Devout members of ISIS believe the final battle will be in Dubiq, Syria. Not Dubuque.
The FBI realizes Mayfield wants to bring about a cataclysmic war between Islam and the West. He calls his supporters his “legion of angels.” And he perverts Revelations – “Go your ways and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the Earth.” The FBI then reaches out to other former members of the cult. The quest may bear some fruit with the last person questioned.
Mo: So, you're sure you haven't heard from Mr. Mayfield or any of the other former members of the Covenant of John?
Hobson: Like I said, I'm not into that stuff no more.
Mo: And what about your cousin, Ted? Is he still in the militia?
Hobson: You know, I don't really keep up with Ted. I just go to work, come home. Sometimes see my mother.
Agent: Well, thank you, Mr. Hobson. If anything comes up, give us a call.
Hobson: Will do. Y'all take care now. Ted, it's me. They were here. The time is nigh.
This is what the leftists in La La Land want to promote – the notion that Christians are terrorists on the same level as ISIS. It’s sick.
Next week the Christian militia story will reach a conclusion. Would it be too much to expect a distinction be made between the two religious groups? Yeah, probably.
No surprise. After the Orlando massacre they blamed the atmosphere hateful Christians had created on it.
The was some tie to Abu Sayeff (sp?) In the Philippines. Iirc they travelled there and some of their funding came from that group. But you are right very little was ever mentioned.
At the end of the day, who do you want as your neighbor, though? A Christian who doesn’t live up to all the instructions in his holy book, or a Muslim who does live up the all the instructions in his?
Overt, nasty liberal treatment of non liberals in:
The Good Wife,
Designated Survivor,
Brain Dead,
Madam Secretary,
and the recent anti gun Hollywood movie that failed miserably.
“And if hillary looked 1/100th as attractive as the actress, she might have had a chance.”
Well, yeah, Tea Leoni is most of the reason I watch the show.
Said it before; say it again:
LET IT GO, CBS, IT DIDN’T WORK.
"Madam Secretary" is a RICO law violation in my opinion. Everyone involved in this collusion to manipulate elections should be brought up on RICO charges.
That’s a good statement, but it has nothing to do with what I posted.
I don't remember Islam being involved as much as an American Nazi party. That linkage was totally flubbed by the FBI.

Oh’...this is a TV show...
Hollywood bashing Christians ?
Who would have thought...?

Not great ratings but will stay four years to make it to syndication. A lot of shows stays for the syndication money. Elementary has even worse ratings but survives because each episode makes cbs 3 million dollars. I doubt madam secretary will make that much but even a million times 88 episodes is a good haul.
Sorry cannot give up blue bloods.
I think designated survivor is the liberal fantasy back up plan.
Need the President to shake off his glasses and turn into Jack Bauer in an upcoming episode.
I used to like Tea Leoni.
What a wasteland pop culture has become.
