No, she is 100% incorrect. Hitler was not elected. He famously staged a coup d'etat.
She's about 60% incorrect. The nazi party won a majority in the reichstag via normal electoral means before hitler was appointed chancellor by then-president Paul von Hindenburg. It was only after a series of electoral victories and in the anticommunist bloodlust that followed the reichstag fire that a state of emergency was declared and the coup began in earnest. I'll give her that she's mostly wrong because what she literally said is untrue, but because it's an oversimplification of what happened and her broader point, that nazis used electoralism before they used brute force, is true.
