Mollie's family shouldn't be surprised at this.
Politicians - all of them - have an agenda. And when they're afforded an opportunity to further their agenda, it doesn't matter who's been murdered, who's been injured, who's been wronged. The politician will utter platitudes meant to convey some measure of empathy (but it really comes across as just blowing smoke up someone's ass) and proceed to occupy the wavelength with their agenda item.
Mollie's family shouldn't take it personally, either.
Because it isn't about Mollie at all. It's about Fauxcahontas (this time) and the agenda she's pimping.
