American/Western leftists supported and celebrated the Khmer Rouge revolution. In 1975, President Ford tried to resist the de-funding of anti-Khmer Rouge pro-American regime but the Democratic controlled congress stripped every nickel of US support. Chris Dodd and many other prominent leftists celebrated the move and welcomed the new future for Cambodia.
