It was a fake screenshot claiming to be a CNN correction notice that said they had misreported that Ted Cruz had been photographed wearing a "Q" pin, but it was actually a piece of a Dorito that was stuck to his jacket.
The joke was riffing on the real misreporting that one of the members of Congress had grabbed a "crowbar" when he evacuated his office during the riot but it turned out he had actually grabbed a "Pro Bar" energy bar.
People who didn't get the joke were sharing the image as if it was an actual CNN Breaking News notice. CNN even had to put out a statement that it wasn't real. The person who tweeted the image deleted the tweet to stop its spread.
