Hope very crooked Democrat is promoted, inappropriately (9)

I believe the answer is:

overhyped

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'promoted inappropriately' is the definition.
The definition suggests a past participle verb which matches the answer.

'hope very crooked democrat' is the wordplay.
'crooked' is an anagram indicator (a crooked or disrupted version of the letters).
'democrat' becomes 'd'.
'hope'+'very'='hopevery'
'hopevery' is an anagram of 'overhype'.
'overhype'+'d'='OVERHYPED'

'is' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
