Direct evidence is evidence “showing a specific link between the alleged
discriminatory animus and the challenged decision, sufficient to support a finding by
a reasonable fact finder that an illegitimate criterion actually motivated the adverse
employment action.” Griffith, 387 F.3d at 736 (quotation omitted). “Direct evidence
does not include stray remarks in the workplace, statements by nondecisionmakers,
or statements by decisionmakers unrelated to the decisional process itself.” Twymon
v. Wells Fargo & Co., 462 F.3d 925, 933 (8th Cir. 2006) (alteration, quotation marks,
and citations omitted).
