Elizabeth Warren was simply repeating family stories she had heard growing up. Anyone who has done enough Genealogy Research and hangs around Genealogy Groups and watches videos know that claiming to have Native American (especially Cherokee) Most Common family story/lore/myth/lie there is in Geneogly/Family history.
The verdict is still out (I believe) on whether warren has Native American. A DNA test did show none but that does not necessarily mean she has none. Could just be she did not inherit that DNA and that may be further back in her family tree than she may have thought. Was it wrong or her to use it in the way she did without proof to back it up? Yes but as far as we know about her background and life everything else is true. Not comparable to Santos either, his lies are much worse. But have always claimed to have this or that (usually based on Family stories or other reasons), people use to say they were Swedish to hide the fact they were German.
Saying your grandparents were Jewish and survived the holocaust when it is not true, is much worse IMO! On top of that saying his mom died on 9/11. Those are outright intentional lies.
Also Warren didn't lie about her teaching positions and scholarships at University of Texas and her extensive work for government agencies, she was qualified. Right now Santos appears to have worked at a call center and some real questionable experience at some vague financial firm. Beyond the lies he doesn't appear to have any qualifications.
People voted for Santos because he was Jewish and had grandparents that escaped the holocaust, because he worked at Goldman Sachs, because he graduated college and his mother was killed on 9/11.

Well this is an interesting one. Incoming Republican Congressman George Santos of NY-3 has a number of questions on his biography in which there seems to be no records to indicate. This is my district FWIW.

Could just be she did not inherit that DNA and that may be further back in her family tree than she may have thought also the possibility an ancestor (in the line where Native American said to come from) in her tree is not the father of one of her ancestor.

No, it said she did have Native genetic markers equivalent to 1/64th which would be 8 to 10 generations back.
im not deep into genealogy, i dont know the difference between a DNA test and a genetic markers test. but it seems the argument that she had no Native DNA comes from the fact that she didnt technically take a DNA test.

You are right. I stand corrected, I just looked it up again, and did indeed show the possibility of there being Native American DNA in her.

First off, great sourcing...oh wait, you didn't source anything...Hmmmm I wonder why? Oh yeah it's because you're making up crap.
1. Yep, had a DNA test.
2. Yep 6-10 years back so at best, 1.5% or so and at worst...0.1%
1/2 ^ 6 = 64
1/2^ 8 = 256
1/2^ 10 = 1,024
Stop making crap up, not sourcing it and hoping nobody calls you out as you lay down a partisan smoke screen.
P.S. The only accurate thing about your post was why arbitrary imposition of rules around lying are worthless. We can always find someone to come along and layer on another lie.
Now the high school he says he attended never heard of him? Who is this guy, really?
I don't know. It just gets weirder and weirder. His sister shifts her name too - although apparently her correct name appears in her mother's obituary from 2016. Since then, she's dropped her last name and used her first and middle names as her entire name, and also has mysteriously named herself Santos after that.
George's wife's name is either Santos Uadla, or Uadla Santos, and she has members of her family named Dossantos. It seems George adopted the Santos name when he became associated with Uadla. And so did his sister.
Really bizarre.
EQUALLY bizarre, in her obituary, his mother's age at the time of her death is 10 years off.
