My question involves unemployment benefits for the state of: NY

I know NY is a right to hire right to fire state. My question is can "getting involved in office politics" be considered misconduct (by DOL standards)? I had a claims investigator from DOL call me and tell me that my former employer claims I was terminated for getting invloved in office politics. I have no idea what "office politics" are and I didn't like my job/co-workers enough to even speak to them about anything personal much less about politics. I tried to explain what was said while I was being let go but he didn't want to hear it and cut me off and told me that's all he needs. I tried googling "office politics" and misconduct but got nothing. I read on the DOL website somethings they consider misconduct but I can't find anything on office politics. Thanks in advance for any info you can provide.
