NAFTA is an executive agreement rather than a treaty. Explicitly invoking an exit clause as it is intended is different from reneging on your treaty obligations out of convenience. The former is like getting a divorce. The latter is like fucking around without your partner's approval or consent and then expecting to come home to a clean house and a cooked dinner with boning afterwards. What some Republicans are doing is more like refusing to have carnal relations with one's partner because they've morphed into a wrinkly, orange-haired racist shithead overnight. They probably had something to do with it, but I can't exactly hold it against them.
