And by the way, nice try at the sleight of hand tactics by attempting to use Trump's generalized comments against a specific bill.

It's not sleight of hand. Trump was working to kill the specific bill being considered in the Senate. He had been calling House members and Senators for weeks before it publicly died the weekend of the 27th. He wasn't a passive bystander, staying out of the discussion until he saw the specifics of the measure that came out of the process - he was trying to kill the negotiations from nearly the outset, as the GOP Senators outlined in their comments. Johnson didn't take the lead in deciding whether to kill the Senate bill - and there's no reason why he would have, given Trump's role in the party.
