Yes, the speaker was correct.
While it may sound awkward, the speaker saying “as just as fair” is actually correct.
When the speaker says “just,” it isn’t used as a typo or some kind of strange wording.
It means that this is “as just as fair.” The word “just” in this section means that it is “based on or behaving according to what is morally right and fair.” Basically, the word “just” is being used both compare and contrast to the word “fair.”
