Because Turek has no motive to lie about that, it was a very specific statement, and he said it twice.
Dangerous assumption. People in an attention economy have every motive to lie. But even if you can't think of a motive someone has to lie, doesn't mean someone doesn't have any. Also, I'd say that Erika doesn't have a motive to lie, at least much less so than random fellow allegedly texting Charlie.
Erika has a clear motive for downplaying any portents of doom because those obviously fuel conspiracy talk.
Why? Unless we go full maximalist and say that she was his beard or something, shouldn't she want the people who killed him brought to justice?
Also, it contradicts her widely reported story about holding fervent prayer sessions to combat a literal witch coven's curse on Charlie...
I'd say "putting an alleged curse" is pretty different from "they're going to PHYSICALLY kill me".

Erika doesn't have a motive to throw water on conspiracy talking points? Really nigga? The president of TPUSA? Can you be honest with yourself?

At 5:50 of this clip Megyn Kelly reports on Erika's reaction to the curses. She was "rattled" and called a priest over to the house specifically to pray over Charlie the night before the murder. In other words, this was a Big Deal.
Now you might say "'rattled' doesn't mean fear of physical harm"... I hope I don't have to spell it out for you.

Who's also the wife of the guy who was killed. Imagine for a moment that TPUSA conspired with whoever to kill Charlie. If you were the new TPUSA president, would you be comfortable - even if you weren't his wife?

But it's not a threat to physical safety. It's a curse from some weirdo witch (i.e., probably Wicca, a loser cult) by Jezebel. I'm pretty sure that Jezebel talking about putting a curse on Charlie would not in and of itself lead him to text others saying "they're going to kill me".

I'm not litigating YOUR impression of the curse. I'm informing you about ERIKA'S (reported) impression.

That it's illogical to think the president of TPUSA would run cover for the murder of the previous one - who was also her husband.
Not Charlie's? I view a curse more like "getting a disease and then dying" more than "someone picking up a gun and shooting you".
