I used to do employment law, and I'd say probably no.
Now for the more lawyery response. It all depends. Was it a question asked during the interview? Did it happen more than once? What was the full context?
It's likely that if this was a private business, with no pr side to it, that it wouldn't amount to a cause termination. It would lead to disciplinary measures, but likely would not be cause.
The real question is if this was misconduct that has caused irreparable harm to the employment relationship. It just might have because of the profile of the job.
