Donald Trump decided to visit New Jersey on Thursday night to help bail out Gov. Chris Christie's half a million<http://www.usnews.com/news/politics/articles/2016-05-18/trump-comes-to-financial-rescue-for-christie-state-gop> in legal fees related to the Bridgegate scandal.

The protesters outside said Trump goes against the values of the diverse, largely Democratic state. "Some of their signs read: "No hate in the Garden State." "I love us too much to let Trump win." "You can't comb over bigotry."

Jeff Tittel, director of the New Jersey chapter of environmental group the Sierra Club, said he finds it ironic that Christie is raising money for his unsuccessful campaign when it was revealed this week that New Jersey's budget is facing a shortfall.

A coalition of Democratic state lawmakers - including state Senate President Stephen Sweeney - and a pair of advocacy groups are condemning Donald Trump's visit to New Jersey on Thursday.

The group said Trump, the likely Republican presidential nominee, is bringing intolerance to a diverse state as he appears at a private fundraiser for the state GOP and hosts a rally in Lawrenceville with Gov. Chris Christie, a fellow Republican and ally.

Despite Trump trumpeting Christie's accomplishments to his own constituents, the former candidate - whose term ends after the 2017 election - may get a better reception outside his home state.
Hundreds of protesters demonstrated outside Thursday's rally, according to NJ.com, holding signs such as one telling the Christie-Trump duo, "Bruce Springsteen hates both of you."
