I couldn't find much on that quote, either. Glad it wasn't just me. I think the President was only interested in making a point--regardless of context-correct attribution.

As far as I can tell, the quote in question is "attributed" from a single source published in 1961. Someone by the name of Marian McKenna published an article about Senator Borah in an academic journal, but I cannot find any corroboration. I would certainly want to peruse the article myself, before lifting alleged Borah quotes from it.
Senator Borah held some other opinions about Hitler that would have made me pause before quoting him (if I were President).
