Tusk calls Boris Johnson's EU comparison to Nazi Germany "political amnesia"

European Council President Donald Tusk said that Boris Johnson, who compared the EU to Nazi Germany in an interview last week,  "crossed the boundaries of a rational discourse, demonstrating political amnesia." “Such absurd arguments should be completely ignored if they hadn’t been formulated by one of the most influential politicians of the ruling party,” Tusk said in Copenhagen, where he met Danish Prime Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen. The former Mayor of London told British newspaper the Sunday Telegraph that the EU is an effort to unify Europe, an attempt previously undertaken by Napoleon and Hitler. "Napoleon, Hitler, various people tried this out, and it ends tragically. The EU is an attempt to do this by different methods," Johnson said.
