I will be surprised if they address it in anything but the most hands-off, distant references. “We heard something about the story, really tragic, we hate to see it.”
Even acknowledging it at all is a political minefield. The good news (for them) is they don’t have to! The vast majority of conservatives in this country, even the “tame” ones who are just scared of different people but have no political passion, they’re getting a deeply cultivated perspective of the world, one that mentions this murder as a strange side-incident that nobody is really talking about, a feed that shows them hundreds of thousands of people cheering at Trump’s parade, of sparse turnouts and cringe leftists at the “no kings” rallies that a few antifa agents organized, of the entire city of LA burning and the tariff’s crushing the economic stability of every other country but the USA, and waves of migrant “criminals” crying in anguish as they are being deported by Daddy Trump every day.
We don’t see how solid and happy the right is because we also have our own algorithmic bubbles that feed us false hope and dopamine hits of manufactured successes in the face of digital tyranny.

This is all very bad.
Boy do we have different bubbles…
