Let's say for a moment he did sponsor or vote for a bill that did something
to help the Internet grow. I'm sure he also during his time in the Senate
voted for a highway bill. Does that make it an honest statment for him to
say "He helped create the Interstate system"?

Granted, he could have used words more carefully: he could have said
"I sponsored a bill to fund further development of the internet" which
would have been more clear, and unassailable.

But he didn't. It may have been what he meant to say, but I guess it
didn't sound presidential enough at the time. Never the less, it
seems obvious, at least to me, that he did not intend to claim that he
had invented the internet.
