Yeah, she's talking out both sides of her mouth.

First, she says his work is imperiling their funding (referring to Google's complaint about its positions not being represented). Then, she says his work has nothing to do with his firing.

When combined it averages out to a coherent honest message. That you are being let go because the content of your message puts a funding source at risk.

It sounds like, "I think this person is good at their job. Unfortunately we can't afford to have someone else with these views in our organization. I would recommend another organization hire this person."
