She’s not entirely wrong

She isn’t.
The obnoxious part is that she doesn’t realize that “intellectualism” is an oxymoron. Most ‘intellectuals’ live in a bubble and other than a few academic fields in which they specialize, are just complete morons in the real world.

This needs to be highlighted; that intellectual does not mean intelligent.
(most certainly almost any FReeper's IQ eclipses Perky's here)
"Intellectuals" gave us 'Critical Theory', Marxism, Communism, Critical Race Theory - and all its attendant garbage, misery, and death.
So as z3n says, they're not only morons, they're miserable morons.
In the sense that “anti-Intellectualism” as Thomas Sowell defined intellectualism in his excellent book “Intellectuals and Society”, she is spot on.
In the sense that anti-elitism is a driving force...same thing.
In the sense of class hatred, that is the sole provenance of the Left. Period.
